Using An LMS To Scaffold Executive Function For Clients With ADHD
"A lot of therapists have all been there. You spend a powerful session co-creating a brilliant plan with your client with ADHD, a new morning routine, a task management system, a mindfulness practice. They leave motivated. Then, next week, they arrive frustrated. "I lost the worksheet," "I forgot the steps," or the classic, "I just couldn't get started.""
"It externalizes executive functions.The LMS acts as the client's "external prefrontal cortex," holding the plan, the steps, and the reminders in a reliable, permanent place, freeing up their mental RAM. It provides constant access.Unlike a lost handout, the LMS is available 24/7 on their phone or computer. When they're struggling to start a task at 10 PM, the resources are right there."
An LMS compensates for inconsistent executive functions in ADHD by externalizing working memory, planning, and task steps, reducing reliance on fragile internal processes. The platform provides constant, 24/7 access so resources remain available when task initiation fails or worksheets are lost. Gamified features like badges, progress bars, and certificates supply immediate feedback and reinforcement to engage dopamine-driven motivation. By turning therapeutic plans into persistent, accessible workflows, an LMS increases follow-through, supports routine formation, and sustains engagement in skill-building and daily tasks.
