ADHD Rewind: Want to Participate in the Latest ADHD Updates?
I'm sending this note out to tell you about a fantastic event that I’m participating in, the 3rd Annual Virtual AD/HD Conference. I’ll be presenting at this year’s conference, along with 20 other ADHD experts. Just take a look at the list of luminaries: http://www.profcs.com/app/?af=1019350
The Virtual AD/HD Conference is a unique event that brings the top experts in AD/HD directly to your doorstep. Not everyone can travel across the country (or across the world!) to attend in person for an on-site physical conference. Travel and lodging can prove to be very expensive, as can the time away from work and home. The truth is that sometimes physical conferences just aren't practical for the people who need them the most. And that's where the Virtual AD/HD Conference comes in. That's where Jennifer Koretsky [as seen on the Today Show] and her vADHD team shine.
Who Will Be There
This conference brings together an international community of people affected by AD/HD. Last year alone, over 500 adults, parents, spouses/partners, doctors, therapists, advocates, coaches, counselors, and many more in the AD/HD community attended the conference for 3 full days of information, resources, connection and fun. Yes, fun!
The Important Part
– And even more importantly: this ADHD conference will provide the latest and most useful information to support your recovery mission wherever you are, at any level.
You can learn more about the conference, review the full conference agenda, and listen to some of the sessions who have completed podcast previews [including my own] at http://www.profcs.com/app/?af=1019350.
Here are 5 reasons why I strongly recommend attending the Virtual AD/HD Conference:
1. You’ll access the top experts in the world of AD/HD from the comfort of your own home or office. Ever hear of Ned Driven to Distraction Hallowell, MD?
2. You’ll get the latest information and strategies on the most important topics in AD/HD. The conference topics cover everything from children to adults, from parenting to marriage, and from mindfulness meditation to medication management.
3. You’ll connect with a supportive group of your peers on the questions and forums. The conference is attended by hundreds of people who understand the challenges of AD/HD.
4. You’ll participate at your own pace. You can choose to attend the sessions live via phone or Internet, or you can download the presentations later. The presentations and materials are available online for 3 months after the close of the conference! This is a big deal, real customer service, – irreplaceable ongoing review opportunities whilst driving to work!
5. You’ll skip the costs and time hassles of traveling to a conference. The Virtual AD/HD Conference is cost efficient because it removes the need for hotels, air ports, baby sitters, and expensive restaurant meals.
The Virtual AD/HD Conference takes place October 4-6. I think the conference is a great opportunity to connect with your peers and get all the tools you need to succeed from the top experts in the world of AD/HD. I hope you’ll consider joining me there!
Take a moment for the brief review of my presentation here on podcast at the site: http://www.profcs.com/app/?af=1019350 An outline for my presentation is available below, and a 20 page white paper on Precise Solutions for ADHD Medications is available when you join the conference team.
My Agenda for “Precise Solutions for ADHD Medications”
Forty slides in the handouts cover how ADHD Medication Rules are dramatically changing – I will show you the details from my new book:
– Why the psych meds are often a problem
– Why feedback loops for med management are essential – and how to
– Categorical wars that keep everyone in the dark about how to approach the med problem
– Details about measurable metabolic challenges
– More than you might want to know about #2, yes, poop and gut effect brain function
– How a bulletproof liver can gum up the works
– How neurotransmitters can be measured
– How to use the Therapeutic Window to dial meds in correctly
– The importance of DOE Duration of Effectiveness
– How we are moving away from simply catching chickens [you'll have to be there!] with meds
– Specific evidence of measuring neurotransmitters and how it works for challenging cases
And, by the way, having worked with Jen and her super team before on previous vADHD conferences, I can tell you I will not be a silent presenter. I will be there for you for the questions, – as you can easily see by even a casual review of my CorePsych Blog posts and copious comments with careful answers. Some posts here have over 200 comments!
So do take a moment to review the luminaries, including Pat Quinn, tune in and listen to podcast previews of some of the sessions at http://www.profcs.com/app/?af=1019350

My son was on Adderall for 6 years he did great on the med which over the years was increased gradually, he was up to 40mg qd, then he developed horrible motor tics during the summer break. The tics disappeared when he was given Haloperidol 1 mg daily, but reappeared as soon as we restarted the Adderall. I tried clonidine and guanfacine,but the the low doses had no effect at all and the higher doses put him to sleep, he is in 5th grade now and I am at my wits end,my Neurologist feels all psychostimulants will cause tics( when he was younger we tried him on Ritalin and then Concerta they made him very irritable and did not help the inability tofocus). He cries and says he wants to go back on Adderall but I am so scared of the awful tics, what are possible alternatives
bee jay,
Sorry to sound like a broken record on the matter of testing – but with these kinds of very atypical responses the only best next way is neurotransmitters assessment. We can read results long distance and often the testing is paid by many insurances. Testing is not a panacea – but it sure beats just shooting blanks on the trial and error method.
