Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood.Seventy five percent of children diagnosed with ADHD will continue with symptoms into adulthood. As individuals move through developmental stages, different environmental stressors further complicate the presentation of symptoms. This seminar will examine the complexities of ADHD and common comorbid conditions at various life-states and offer evidence-based, age-appropriate pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical treatment strategies. 

 At the conclusion of the program, participants should be able to:

• Identify clinical characteristics of ADHD during various ages in the lifespan
• Differentiate between common comorbid conditions
• Summarize the psychological underpinnings of ADHD and their impact on clinical manifestations
• Explain evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment
• Outline effective psychotherapies including individual and family therapy
• Discuss current (pharmacological and nonpharmacological) treatment options for ADHD and common comorbid conditions at various ages
• Compare and contrast the pharmacological interventions for children/adolescents and adults with ADHD, including both stimulant and non-stimulant medications
