Edward Hallowell, MD
In this presentation, Dr. Hallowell will relate the history of this diagnosis (where was AD/HD 100 years ago?), how to make the diagnosis today, where the common pitfalls in diagnosis lie, what constitutes the best kind of treatment program, and how to assess if a given child is receiving the proper kind of help. He will discuss over-diagnosis of AD/HD, as well as under-diagnosis, the pro's and con's of the medications used to treat AD/HD, and details of the non-medication approaches to treatment.
