Understanding and Supporting Executive Functions in Children, Adolescents, and Adults
Joseph S. Volpe, Ph.D.

Why is it so hard to do what we know we need to do?
ADHD is about much more than paying attention. Why do capable people struggle to get started, manage time, remember responsibilities, regulate emotions, or follow through—even when they genuinely want to succeed?
Drawing on more than 30 years of clinical practice, school psychology, and university teaching, Dr. Volpe connects the science of executive functions with practical strategies for everyday life.

The ADHD Evaluation Process
What Your ADHD Evaluation Includes
Before treatment begins, a comprehensive ADHD assessment establishes an accurate diagnosis and helps identify patterns of executive functioning strengths and difficulties, including how these affect everyday responsibilities, relationships, and goal-directed behavior. Findings are interpreted within the context of developmental history, current functioning, and individual circumstances. Dr. Volpe will carefully determine which assessment instruments will lead to the best path for intervention.
Clinical Intake
A thorough clinical interview covering your developmental history, current symptoms, prior evaluations, academic and occupational functioning, and personal goals — providing the foundation for an accurate and individualized assessment.
Standardized Assessment
Validated rating scales and structured questionnaires are used to measure attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and executive function across multiple settings and informants, ensuring the evaluation meets clinical and diagnostic standards.
Cognitive Testing, If Indicated
When clinically indicated, targeted cognitive or neuropsychological measures may help clarify questions involving learning, memory, intellectual functioning, or other cognitive concerns. Such measures do not independently establish or exclude ADHD or other psychiatric diagnoses.
Review of Records
Prior evaluations, school records, medical history, and any relevant documentation are reviewed to ensure the assessment reflects your full history and that no important information is overlooked.
Treatment
Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches
Dr. Volpe draws on the most effective, research-supported interventions for ADHD — tailored to your specific profile and goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT for ADHD targets the negative thought patterns and avoidance behaviors that compound executive function difficulties. You'll build practical strategies for managing procrastination, emotional dysregulation, and low frustration tolerance.
Executive Function Coaching
Structured coaching addresses the core deficits of ADHD — planning, prioritization, time management, and task initiation — with concrete tools you can apply immediately in work, school, and daily life.
Mindfulness-Based Strategies
Mindfulness techniques help you build awareness of attention lapses, reduce impulsivity, and improve emotional regulation — skills that complement CBT and coaching for a comprehensive approach.
