DBT is an intensive, highly structured program that was originally created for adults in the 1970s and has since been adapted for children and adolescents.
It can be an effective treatment for ADHD because it aids in the development of skills that support emotional regulation, problem-solving, and self-acceptance.DBT works by helping children develop skills that decrease unwanted feelings and unhelpful behaviors, as well as skills that help them to accept difficult feelings about themselves and others without judgment.
