Course Description
From childhood through adulthood, ADHD presents not only problems but also unique opportunities for change, growth, and success. The goal of diagnosis and treatment is to transform ADHD from a chronic liability into an overall asset in life. The purpose of this seminar is to show how to do precisely that and to present much of the new information we have learned about ADHD in the past decade.
In his work with people of all ages, Dr. Hallowell has learned that a strength-based approach to diagnosis and treatment leads to the best outcomes. The moment the clinician meets the client, he or she looks for talents, skills, and strengths and builds a treatment plan to promote those first and foremost. In addition, the clinician radiates a positive attitude and affirming energy, which in turn mobilizes hope, excitement, and curiosity, which drives treatment to much greater success than can be achieved otherwise.
Interweaving advanced material and innovative new treatments with introductory information aimed both at professionals and non-professionals, this seminar will explore the entire world of ADHD in its human as well as its clinical and scientific dimensions. It will provide a solid, practical basis for understanding ADHD at all ages in all contexts.
An added feature of the course that Dr. Hallowell deems especially useful is that each participant is given a chance to tell the group about themselves. This is entirely optional; you don’t have to do it. But each summer, an atmosphere of such trust develops in the group that over the 20 years we have offered this course, approximately 97% of participants have decided to offer from their own experience, knowledge, and anecdotes their fellow participants always relish.
