Overview of the first annual Virtual ADHD Conference

Jodi Sleeper-Triplett talked about Success Strategies for Teens and College Students with ADHD. She covered the different types of skill building students need to accomplish in order to be successful; the importance of removing the stigma of having ADHD; and what the parents' role is when their adult students are searching for coaching help.

Dr. Patricia Quinn fascinated all of us with her presentation on Eating Disorders in Girls and Women with ADHD. She gave us some chilling statistics on how common this problem is in the ADD population and why girls and women use food as a way to self-medicate.

There were many more sessions offered at the conference and attendees reported that the information they gained would help them to better manage their ADHD; educate others about ADHD and develop new strategies to arm themselves on how to live better when they or someone they care about is challenged with ADHD.
