Suggestions will be provided on how to manage a young person with ADHD in custody and how to engage local CHADD chapters in partnership work. Speakers will 1. Review ADHD and its links to criminal behavior, in the context of social determinants of health behavior; 2. Demonstrate how the disorder affects the individual and the operations of police and juvenile justice agencies; and 3. Provide examples of more appropriate early interventions to improve legal outcomes of youths with ADHD.
