ADHD, and Autism

Atlanta, GA Nov. 12 - 13, 2009

"ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorders"

Thursday, November 12, 2009"ADHD: Living Without Brakes" L.

Kutscher, M.D.

Current concepts of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) extend much further than the traditional triad of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The course will cover the full range of symptoms experienced by people with ADHD and their families- including over-reactions, brakeless behaviors, easy frustration, disorganization, and "future blindness." Special emphasis will be given to the concepts of executive function; and to co-morbidities such as autistic spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, anxieties, OCD, tics, depression, bipolar depression, sensory integration disorder, and central auditory processing. Dr. Kutscher empathically summarizes how to identify and differentiate these co-occurring issues. Behavioral therapy at home, organizational support at home and school, and medication treatments will be discussed.

Friday, November 13, 2009 "No More Meltdowns: Handling Challenging Behaviors and Teaching Social Skills"

Jed Baker, Ph.D.

Students on the autism spectrum often present with difficulty regulating their feelings and interacting socially. This workshop describes how to handle meltdowns and design effective behavior plans to prevent these moments and reduce frustration and anxiety. The second part of the presentation details strategies to motivate students to learn, ways to teach social skills, how to generalize skills into the natural setting and increase acceptance and tolerance from peers. Information will be imparted though lecture, interactive exercises, and video clips.
