ADHD Session Activity Pack

Thirty-one pages of ADHD-aware session material — fits the body, not just the worksheet.

$15One-time · printable download · lifetime use

A printable activity pack designed for the teen whose executive-function load is the visit’s loudest signal, not a footnote. Mirrors the school-mental-health arc of Attention / Initiation / Working memory / Time, with body-first pacing and short task packets so a single 45-minute session can land three skill reps without burning the teen out.

Built for

The teen whose executive-function load is the visit's loudest signal, not a footnote.

Cue.The teacher email comes in Tuesday at 10 am — homework not started, planner empty, the teen still in pajamas — and the visit at 2 pm gets 40 minutes stolen by the read-aloud of last week's week instead of any new material.
Body. Initiation stalls before the first step is written, working memory drops on the second task, time-estimation collapses by minute eight, and the teen walks out of the visit with the same planner open and the same Wednesday-morning fight queued up.
Skills. Short task packets, body-first pacing, and a single sentence the teen can carry into the next morning — three skill reps the visit can land without burning the kid out before homework.

What's inside

Seven activity components, one printable cut-out at a time.

Every sheet below is one component, on one page, ready to print and hand to the teen. Drop them in across a series of visits or pair two inside a single 45-minute session.

Goals

What the teen leaves with by the close of the packet.

Map initiation from cue to first move so the teen names where the start row actually lives, not where the task says it should.
Land three skill reps inside a single 45-minute session without burning the teen out — short task packets, body-first pacing.
Rehearse working-memory dual-tasks under a low working-memory load first, then layer the second task in once the first one stows.
Hand a teacher-facing scaffold card back to the classroom so the homework fight shrinks the next morning, not next IEP cycle.

Materials

What you print or cut out before the visit starts.

Initiation ladder worksheet (10 ranked steps, drop-down start row)
Working-memory dual-task card deck (12 pairs)
Time-estimation rehearsal sheet (5 scenarios, predict / actual / delta columns)
Body-cue break card (90-second reset, three reps)
Classroom scaffold pick card (teacher-facing, half-letter)
Parent/caregiver launch routine handout
Weekly reflection half-sheet (six-up)

Script

The 45-minute clinician run, in order, with timing notes.

01Open (5 min) — body-cue break, then name the single task the teen will land today.
02Activity 1 — initiation ladder, teen picks the start row, clinician writes the first three steps out loud.
03Activity 2 — working-memory dual-task drill (one task only the first round; add the second once round one lands).
04Activity 3 — time-estimation rehearsal, one scenario, predict / actual / delta, no scorekeeping.
05Close (5 min) — one sentence that names what the body did today; weekly reflection half-sheet to take home.

Icebreaker

How the session opens — body first, task second.

Body-cue break — clinician sets a visible 90-second timer, teen sits with eyes open and feet on the floor. No narration during the rep; the timer is the only cue.
Three reps before the first task is named — the break is the opener, not the warm-up. Neither rep has to be perfect.
Close the open with one sentence the teen can carry into the first activity: the cue is the door, the breath is the floor.

Activities

The seven printable pieces — drawn straight from the catalog so the card and the page never drift.

Initiation ladder worksheet (10 ranked steps, drop-down start row)

Time-estimation rehearsal sheet (5 scenarios, predict / actual / delta columns)
Body-cue break card (90-second reset, three reps)

Closing

Take-home rhythm so the work doesn't end at the buzzer.

Weekly reflection half-sheet — six-up, one week per panel.
One sentence the teen can hand the parent on the way out the door.
Launch routine handout covers the first 90 seconds at home, not the full evening.
Body-cue break card travels to the next IEP morning, not just the next visit.

Clinical arc · Attention / Initiation / Working memory / Time

Tied to the school-mental-health track

The same Attention / Initiation / Working memory / Time arc that anchors the catalog entry — not a generic mindfulness deck dressed up as an ADHD pack.

Pairing tracks are queued: the back-to-school classroom scaffold card lands in the first week of term, and the anger-regulation body-cue break card stitches in when a spike is louder than a start. Clinicians running the Anger Regulation kit already use the same body-cue break in their DBT distress-tolerance chain, so a teen who crosses kits doesn't have to relearn the reset.
