Cool Events
There is all sorts of good stuff going on out there in the world of ADHD. Here is some of the best. (I know, I know, some of this stuff at the bottom isn’t actually an event, but I didn’t know where else to put it on the site.)
An Amazing Online Seminar
The good people who brought you the Virtual ADHD Conference are doing some seminars on important topics with great presenters (they’re my friends, but I still think they’re great). Each seminar will be split over two nights (7:00 – 9:00 PM EST) so you can really get into the material.
ADHD Medication Matters Summit with Theresa Cerulli, MD. 5/15 & 5/16. ADHDmanagement.com/virtual-events/medication-matters-summit/.
CHADD Regional Conference (5/19)
Baltimore, MD. This was originally supposed to be in Philly on 5/5, but things didn’t work out with the venue so it is now in Baltimore a couple weeks later. The always inspiring Ned Hallowell, MD is doing the keynote. More information will be posted as it comes out at www.chadd.org.
Great Deal on Conference DVDs
Chester County CHADD is selling DVDs of its February, 2011 conference. I presented on executive functions, Patricia Quinn did two (ADHD across the lifespan and also ADHD and women and girls), and Michele Novotni talked about strengthening friendships. Plus five other presentations. All for $40. Killer deal. You can learn more here.
Find Local Professionals
I’m often contacted asking for suggestions for local therapists, prescribers, coaches, etc. Although a personal recommendation is always best, try the professional directories on these sites. These listings make no guarantee that the person is any good, but at least they have an interest in working with folks with ADHD.
Time-Waster Blockers
OK, so this isn’t really an event, but I promised in episode 46 (Two Tools to Stop the Flood, 2/5/10) that I would post the links to the programs you can use to limit how much time you waste on unproductive websites.
LeechBlock works with Firefox.
StayFocsd works with Google Chrome. The developer told me that this is an early version and that refinements are in the works, so it will only get better.
