Is it Really AD/HD? Something Else? or Both?

The Michael Golds Memorial AD/HD Conference is coming to the OCC - Oakland Ridge Campus in Farmington Hills on Friday September 27.

John McCaskill, Ph.D. is one of 15 speakers who will be presenting at the conference.   His topic is "Evaluation, Differential Diagnosis, and Treatment of Complicated AD/HD in Children and Adolescents: Is it Really AD/HD? Something Else? or Both?"

There are many reasons why children, adolescents, and adults might experience difficulties with concentration/attention and associated academic, social-emotional, or behavioral difficulties.  AD/HD is only one of the sources and other causes for the difficulties require very different treatments and interventions. Dr. McCaskill will discuss factors which serve to distinguish AD/HD from these other conditions, specific/systematic procedures for "disentangling the variables" and interpreting findings to insure accurately diagnosis, and treatment plans.
