CHADD of New York is proud to present:
Dr. Edward (Ned) Hallowell, M.D.

In this presentation, Dr. Edward M. Hallowell, a child and adult psychiatrist, founder of the Hallowell Centers in Sudbury and NYC and leading authority in the field of ADHD will focus on his strength-based approach to ADHD presented in his New York Times best-seller book Driven to Distraction and his book Delivered from Distraction (http://amzn.to/adhdhallowellbooks).  When the diagnoses of ADHD emphasizes what is wrong with a person, 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. This is Dr. Hallowell’s goal: to help people master the power of ADHD while avoiding its pitfalls. His message will be all encompassing as he talks about what it is like to have ADHD, explains some of the brain science behind it, and discusses how to get diagnosed properly and the available medicinal and non-medicinal treatments.   He will also address the many people who have ADHD coupled with other learning issues, worry and ADHD and tips on how to live your life to the fullest if you have ADHD.  

Join Dr. Hallowell as he:
•        Presents a strength-based approach to ADHD
•        Identifies benefits of changing environment to treat ADHD
•        Explores recent research into ADHD
•        Examines benefits of exercise, nutrition, and other non-medication approaches
•        Treats AD/HD in a comprehensive 5 step fashion
