Twenty-two of the most celebrated doctors, therapists, and coaches in
the field of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) are
coming together for the first time in a virtual setting. From September
22-24, 2008, people affected by AD/HD, including parents, service
professionals, and AD/HD adults, will hear live presentations from
experts including:
- Dr. Edward Hallowell, author of "Driven to Distraction"
- Dr. Daniel Amen, author of "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life"
- Sari Solden, MS, LMFT, author of "Journeys Through ADDulthood"
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) is a condition
characterized by attention inconsistencies, impulsivity,
distractibility, and hyperactivity. AD/HD affects an estimated 5% of
the population worldwide.
"The Virtual AD/HD Conference™ is a unique opportunity for people to
get all the tools they need to succeed from top experts, without ever
leaving home," says Jennifer Koretsky of the ADD Management Group, who
is hosting the conference along with Terry Matlen of ADD Consults.
Adds Matlen, "Everyone can participate at their own pace and attend
only the presentations that most interest them. This conference has all
the benefits of an in-person conference without the travel expense and
hassle."
The live presentations will delve into important topics in AD/HD, such as:
- Medication and Alternative Treatments
- Addictions and Eating Disorders
- Success Strategies for Kids, Teens & College Students
- Time Management and Organization
- Career Management
- And much more
The Virtual AD/HD Conference™ will center on an interactive,
participant-only website, which means that everything attendees need to
participate in the conference and connect with their peers is located
in one, easy-to-use online space. Participants will have the option to
listen to each presentation live via webcast or via telephone, and
share their thoughts in dedicated discussion forums.
In addition, the conference will host networking sessions in live chat
rooms where attendees can connect with one another. There will also be
a virtual exhibit hall of AD/HD products and services. Plus, attendees
will have the opportunity to purchase an audio CD set with printed
transcripts of all the presentations.
The conference is open to the public. Registrations are being taken online at http://www.ADHDconference.com.
