This year’s conference features experts and sessions that are
sure to make it one of the best conferences in memory. Attendees
will be a part of the CHADD experience as they meet with other experts,
parents, and adults affected by AD/HD.
We have tailored our event to bring you only the best in education.
You’ll find presentations by the nation’s premier experts on
AD/HD, plus you’ll have the opportunity to learn skills that will
pay off immediately at home or at the office. You’ll also have
plenty of time for networking, visiting the exhibit hall, getting
inspired by our General Session speakers and hearing the most recent
findings at the Research Symposia. Ancient traditions and current
treatments will nourish your soul, and Pilates classes will help you
make the mind-body connection.
Our 21st Annual International Conference is truly the best
place for connecting with experts and others who will provide you with
great information and resources.
[The conference will be as green and
earth-friendly as possible to be more socially and environmentally
responsible.]

Flyer about School Success for Kids With ADHD Book
School Success for Kids With AD/HD offers parents and teachers the
support they need to ensure children with attention deficits build on
their strengths, circumvent their weaknesses, and achieve to their
fullest potential. With the growing number of children diagnosed with
attention problems, parents and teachers need practical advice for
helping these children succeed in school.
Topics include recognizing the causes and types of attention deficits
and how they appear in the school context, requesting school evaluations
and diagnoses, understanding the laws regarding students with special
needs, advocating for these students in the school environment, and
coaching students with attention deficits to success. Included is a
brief overview of research and medical perspectives on attention
deficits, strategies used by teachers of children with AD/HD, and
helpful tools for parents and teachers to employ, such as homework
checklists and self-advocacy charts.
