About the Conference
The mission of the conference is to educate and inspire the community to better diagnose, treat and care for those with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and coexisting disorders. The conference will include sessions on a variety of other topics as well, including dyslexia, behavior management, autism, addiction, social media and mental health.
This event is an excellent opportunity for physicians, nurses and health care professionals to gain valuable insights into ADHD, autism, dyslexia and related conditions in children and adults.
