OnTrac comprises of three modules:

1. Psychoeducation on ADHD – This component of the program provides participants with a mental scaffolding for understanding the source of their recurring difficulties, especially the impact off Executive Functioning (EF) delays
2. Adaptive Thinking – This builds understanding about how thoughts and feelings can exacerbate ADHD symptoms
3. Skills Building – This involves learning to use compensatory skills to manage your ADHD

• Have a better understanding of your ADHD
