General Information


9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.MORNING PRE-CONFERENCE INSTITUTES

TA1 • Pearls, Perils & Pitfalls of Treating ADHDPhysician, Healthcare, Psycholoigst | Seminar | IntermediateAndrew Adesman, MDThis pre-conference institute will provide practical guidance to novice and experienced health care providers and related professionals regarding the assessment and management of ADHD. Following a review of the new AAP clinical guidelines and the draft DSM-5 criteria, the focus will then shift to the 25 most common mistakes that clinicians make in the assessment and management of ADHD. Strategies for optimizing pharmacotherapy will be presented. CAM treatments and common comorbidities will be briefly dis-cussed. Ample opportunity will be allotted for professionals in attendance to share some of their own diagnostic and treatment “pearls”. A small number of illustrative cases will be included to highlight many of the common “pearls, perils, and pitfalls” and to generate audience discussion.

TA2 • Executive Functioning in ADHD: Implications for Assessment and ManagementPsychologist, Adult, Healthcare, Physician | Seminar | IntermediateRussell Barkley, PhDDr. Barkley has developed one of the leading theories of executive functioning (EF) and its role in the nature of ADHD. This theory is based on understand-ing the nature of the executive neuropsychological functions as a multi-level meta-construct and its contribution to self-regulation across time to support the individual’s long-term goals and general welfare. This model views EF not just as a suite of purely cognitive capacities but as an extended phenotype from brain functioning into ever widening spheres of daily adaptive, self-reli-ant, and cooperative social functioning across the major domains of daily life activities. He has developed numerous clinical implications concerning the diagnosis, assessment and management of ADHD.

TA3 • ADHD and Mindfulness Training Through the LIfespanPsychologist, Healthcare, Physician | Seminar | IntermediateMark Bertin, MD; Lidia Zylowska, MDThis session will describe the diverse facets of mindfulness practice including relaxation, training in meta-awareness, attention regulation, cognitive refram-ing, remembering of intention and strategies for emotional self-regulation. Up-to-date research exploring mechanism behind mindfulness training effects as well as its use in ADHD will be discussed. Related research as well as emphasis on activities immediately applicable in daily live will be provided.

TA4 • New Directions in ADHD and Autism: Assessment and TreatmentPsychologist, Healthcare, Physician | Lecture | Intermediate-AdvancedSam Goldstein, PhDDr. Goldstein will offer an overview of the most current research concerning the overlap between ADHD and autism. Dr. Goldstein will present data from his recent study, the largest epidemiologic sample of children with autism and ADHD. He will discuss current methods for assessment of autism and treatment planning.

TA5 • Making your ADHD Coaching Practice Work for You and Your ClientsCoach | Workshop | IntermediateJodi Sleeper-Triplett, BA, MCC; Nancy Ratey, EdM, MCCThis preconference workshop will cover essential elements needed in build-ing a solid foundation for best coaching practices. Points covered include engaging in effective marketing, creating good client/coach fit, ensuring deliv-erables, client confidentiality and adhering ethical standards.

TA6 • Psychosocial Interventions for ADHD Inattentive TypeEducator, Psychologist, Healthcare | Seminar | Beginner-AdvancedLinda Pfiffner, PhDThis institute will examine characteristics and impairments of ADHD-I with particular attention to the distinctions between ADHD-I and ADHD-C. Differential diagnosis and treatment of ADHD-I will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on the Child Life and Attention Skills (CLAS) program, a multi-component, behavioral intervention integrating (a) a standard behavioral treatment for ADHD (group-based parent training) that has been adapted for ADHD-I with (b) group-based child life skills training and (c) teacher-based behavioral intervention. The results of two NIMH-funded randomized clini-cal trials evaluating this intervention with ADHD-I, both of which support the efficacy of CLAS for improving core inattention symptoms and impairment will be presented.

TA7 • Implementing School-Based Anti-Bullying and Cyber Bullying Policies and Practices: What We Know and What to Do about ItEducator, Psychologist, Healthcare | Workshop | BeginnerJeff Sprague, PhD; Marlene Snyder, PhDThe development and implementation of school-based anti-bullying and cyber bullying policies and practices are part of a continuing effort to (a) pro-tect students from the damaging effects of bullying and harassment, (b) pro-vide a safe and welcoming school climate for students and staff, and (c) foster the development of effective practices that reduce or eliminate bullying and harassment in schools. This workshop presents policy and practice guide-lines for protecting students from bullying and cyber bullying and helping schools with legal issues surrounding their incidence developed by the U.S Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights and the National Association of Attorneys General along with materials on bullying and harassment devel-oped through The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program and the Institute on Violence and Destructive Behavior at the University of Oregon.

TA8 • Iberoamerican Forum • FReeHispanic/ Latino. Conducted in Spanish | Workshop | Beginner-AdvancedGabriela Delgado Paulsen, PhD; Beatriz Duda, LCSWThe Iberoamerican Forum has been part of CHADD´s efforts to help the Spanish speaking community within the United States and abroad for many years. This year, we have been working together to merge our efforts to strengthen the ties within the Iberoamerican community to help children and adults living with ADHD. The focus of this session will be on the social and cultural components that affect Iberoamericans and the impact of these com-ponents make on children and adults living with ADHD in different settings.

1:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m.AFTERNOON PRE-CONFERENCE INSTITUTES

TB1 • Controversies & Current Trends in PharmacotherapyHealthcare, Physician | Seminar | Intermediate-AdvancedGlen R. Elliott, MD, PhDDr. Elliott will be discussing the common current controversies related to using medication to treat ADHD, including short- and long-term efficacy, safety, and domains for which available medications have little to no apparent value. He also will review innovations in medications that may eventually help individuals with ADHD and comorbid conditions in ways not currently possible.

TB2 • The Human Experience of ADHD: A Strength Based ApproachPsychologist, Healthcare, Adult, Parent/Caregiver, Physician | Seminar | Beginner-AdvancedEdward (Ned) Hallowell, MDDr. Hallowell’s presentation will focus on a strength-based approach to ADHD. When the diagnosis of ADHD emphasizes what is wrong with a per-son, that person immediately starts to see himself in those negative terms. Shame, fear and self-doubt grow. However, when the treatment of ADHD begins with an effort to find what’s good in a person by using a strength-based approach to ferret out their hidden strengths and emphasizes first and foremost what is positive, then the person sees himself in a positive light. Dr. Hallowell’s goal is to help people master the power of ADHD while avoiding its pitfalls. He will talk about what it is like to have ADHD, explain some of the brain science behind it, and discuss how to get diagnosed properly and the available medicinal and non-medicinal treatments.

TB3 • Long-term Outcome of ADHD: Implications for Treatment of Adolescents and AdultsPsychologist, Healthcare, Physician | Seminar | IntermediateLily Hechtman, PhDThis session will include the presentation of four different topics. The topics consist of: 1) The long-term outcomes of adolescents and adults with ADHD. 2) The predicators of outcomes. 3) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults with ADHD. 4) Pilot results of study examining the use of CBT with adolescents with ADHD.

TB4 • Rethinking Behavior Interventions: Effective Strategies for Students with Anxiety and Oppositional BehaviorPsychologist, Healthcare, Educator | Workshop | Beginner-IntermediateJessica Minahan, MEd, BCBA This Institute will teach participants about interventions educators can use in the classroom to help with students who have anxiety or oppositional behav-ior that can be explosive. Participants will learn to suggest improvements to existing behavior plans that focus on preventive strategies, such as ante-cedent management, self-monitoring systems, and alternative responses to behavior. These interventions can allow students to improve their behavior by acquiring the necessary skills to make academic progress.

TB5 • Making Sense of Difficult Adult ADHD Cases: Assessment and Treatment of ADHD with Complex Co-morbiditiesPsychologist, Healthcare, Physician | Seminar | AdvancedKevin Murphy, PhDClinicians are often confused about the most appropriate and efficient way of assessing and treating adults who may have ADHD - especially when there are complex or multiple co-morbidities involved. Disentangling ADHD from patients who also present with other conditions such as Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Substance Dependence, Major Depression, or Axis II Personality Disorders is a major challenge, even for seasoned clinicians. How do we know if ADHD is a valid diagnosis in the presence of these other disorders? What should we treat first? When is it safe or not safe to use stimulant medications? What if the patient is reluctant or refuses to engage in treatment? What are realistic expectations for patients and their families and how do we define a positive outcome in these situations? This training will discuss methods and key considerations

in properly assessing, conceptualizing, and treating adults whose ADHD is complicated by these kinds of complex co-morbidities and use case studies for discussion.

TB6 • Neuroscience and Neuropsychology of ADHD: Implications for Clinical PracticePhysician, Psychologist, Healthcare | Seminar | Intermediate-AdvancedMargaret Semrud-Clikeman, PhDThis Institute will discuss the current research in executive functioning in chil-dren with ADHD and the clinical implications of difficulties in this area. In addi-tion, a discussion will be provided as to the neuroimaging findings in children with ADHD: combined type and those with ADHD: predominately inattentive type. Moreover, a discussion will be provided that links neuroimaging find-ings with neuropsychological functioning particularly with regard to executive functioning as well as response to medication. Finally two case studies will be provided to illustrate the current state of research in ADHD.

TB7 • Cognitive Deficits in ADHD: Beyond Executive Function (EF) DeficitsPsychologist, Healthcare, Educator, Physician | Seminar | Intermediate-AdvancedRosemary Tannock, PhDThis Institute will first define biomarkers and endophenotypes and their role in prevention and intervention, and then review the criteria required to confirm an endophenotype. Next a critical review will be provided of non-EF deficits in ADHD, followed by a discussion as to the extent to which these non-EF defi-cits show potential as endophenotypes for ADHD or dimensional symptoms of ADHD (i.e., inattention versus hyperactivity/ impulsivity). Non-EF deficits in ADHD include altered-reinforcement (delay aversion), time perception or timing, Intra-individual reaction time variability, sensory processing, colour vision, rapid automatized naming or processing speed, to name a few. The Institute will conclude with a discussion of the significance of non-EF deficits associated with ADHD, in terms of associated impairments, prevention and intervention, irrespective of their potential as endophenotypes.

TB8 • Quick Tips For Parents: Preventing Problematic Behavior$15.00 FeeParent/Caregiver | Seminar | IntermediateAdam Schwebach, PhDChildren with ADHD often exhibit difficult and challenging behavior that can cause a great deal of conflict at home. For example, children with ADHD may be argumentative, forgetful or have trouble being able to follow through with basic tasks. In many cases these behaviors are unintentional. There are many interventions parents and caregivers can implement to help reduce the severity of such disruptive behavioral issues at home. This session will provide participants with an open discussion as to why many children with ADHD display such difficulties and effective strategies they can implement to help prevent behavioral problems at home.

TB9 • ADHD and Its Links to Law Enforcement and Criminal JusticeThis session is free to the community. Registration to the conference is not required.

Law Enforcement/Justice, Parent/Caregiver, Adult, Attorney/Advocate | Workshop | BeginnerPhilip Anderton, PhD; Regina Bussing, MD; Catrina N. Wilkins, MD; Stephen Brown, Sgt.This session will address what ADHD is, its implications for law enforcement and the criminal justice system, and what can be done to improve interven-tions and outcomes. Suggestions will be provided on how to manage 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) demon-strate how the disorder effects 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. This sesssion will build on the success of previous years bringing law enforcement officers into the conference and be engaged by parents.

TG1 • Stigma, Mental Illness, and Families: Implications for ADHDAll | Keynote | All

Stephen Hinshaw, PhD Many have argued that the most important issue facing the entire mental health field is the stigma that still pertains to mental disorders. In this talk, Dr. Hinshaw first defines stigma and discusses reasons for the puzzling persistence of stigma directed toward mental illness, despite far greater knowledge of mental disorders than half a century ago. He then discusses the concept of “courtesy stigma,” a term first denoting the strong stigma directed toward family members of those with mental disorders (especially the case for ADHD). Third, he presents his own family’s experiences with serious mental disorder, including doctor’s orders for his parents never to discuss such issues with their children.

Jim Swanson, PhD, Facilitator; Stephen Hinshaw, PhD; Lily Hechtman, PhD; Russell Barkley, PhDThe ideas behind the Berkeley Girls ADHD Longitudinal Study (BGALS), which began in the 1990s will be discussed. Then description of findings from the childhood, adolescent, and young adult phases of this study, which involves the largest cohort of childhood-diagnosed girls with ADHD in existence, 95% of whom have been followed through a mean age of 20. Crucially, discussion of (a) means of retaining long-term samples and (b) differences between long-term outcomes in this study and those of males with ADHD—which include, for BGALS, a strikingly high rate of suicidal and self-injurious behavior in late adolescence and young adulthood.The presentation will also describe the Montreal Longitudinal Study which followed children with ADHD and normal matched controls prospectively for 15 years from mean age 8 to 26 years. Different adult outcomes will be described, as well as factors which influence this outcome.

When it comes to rising above life’s challenges, ADHD among them, few things are more important than learning to see these challenges in a hope-ful new light. But how do we learn to do this when others continue to see our challenges in a very old light? During this presentation we’ll explore the ways. In the process we’ll also review a number of promising practices that are helping those with ADHD learn to see themselves through their strengths as opposed to their challenges. When it comes to rising above life’s difficulties it’s really true. “There’s never anything so wrong with us that what’s right with us can’t fix.”

This will be an event to remember! Gina Pera, author of Is It You, Me or Adult ADD?” will be the emcee for the evening. Following a sumptuous sit-down dinner, and welcoming remarks by Ruth Hughes, Ph.D., Will Chang, owner of the San Francisco Giants, and Chusy Haney-Jardine, director of the critically acclaimed documentary “Gigante,” will discuss the making of this poignant film that chronicles the life of major league baseball player Andrés Torres. Torres, diagnosed in 2002 but

untreated until 2009, went from struggling for ten years in the minor leagues to becoming a Giant. Through the development of strategies and support systems, Torres was able to become a key player on that team. He was voted most inspirational player by his victorious teammates after the 2010 World Series. His story inspires hope and motivates others to embrace their own challenges and never give up on their dreams. Excerpts of the documentary will be shown during the evening. Andrés Torres will not be present.

Fee: $49.50

The full 90 minute documentary will run continuously during the Conference.

Multisite Randomized Clinical Trials: What Have We Learned about ADHD from the MTA?

Timothy Wigal, PhDThe NIMH-funded Multimodal Treatment of ADHD (MTA) study was a multisite study designed to evaluate the leading treatments for ADHD, including behavior therapy, medications, and the combination of the two in elementary-

aged children. The study’s treatment phase lasted 14 months and the observational longitudinal follow-up, currently in its 16th year, at seven sites in the US and Canada, is ongoing and being funded by NIDA. It is difficult to maintain followup over long periods of time but longitudi-nal studies can provide valuable information on outcomes as children mature and face other developmental problems. Longitudinal studies also present analytic challenges, in particular with regard to missing data and assessing the effect of treatment. The MTA follow-up results will be presented in terms of substance abuse issues and other mea-sures of impairment that impact young adults diagnosed with ADHD

as children.

Little Children, Big Challenges: Treatment of Preschoolers with ADHDLaurence Greenhill, MDDr. Greenhill will provide an overview of the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment options for children with ADHD in the preschool stage of development, between 3 years of age and 6 years of age. He will discuss the findings and implications of the Agency for Health Care

Research and Quality (AHRQ’s) lengthy review of published treatments for ADHD that are the basis of the new American Academy of Pediatrics Treatment Guidelines for ADHD.

Jim Swanson

Timothy Wigal

Laurence Greenhill

Remarkable new research methods (various uses of MRI, physi-ological TMS probes), allied with advances in direct measurements of behaviors, have secured evidence confirming that ADHD has neurobiological origins. These brain causes of ADHD, however, are many in terms of localization and in terms of underlying mechanism, at least one of which (maybe even the majority) may be the delayed timing of frontal lobe development.
