Understand psychostimulant medication efficacy and its effect on therapy outcomes. 3. Distinguish an under-medicated ADHD brain from a well-medicated one, so you can flag concerns early instead of after months of stalled progress. 4. Help clients identify and evaluate effective symptom control, using language that supports rather than second-guesses their prescriber. 5. Recognize and address barriers to effective treatment, including medication stigma and sub-optimal dosing.
