Working memory and ADHD
Typing the phrases "working memory” and "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder” into the search engine at the National Library Medicine yields over 300 citations. Research into the connection between working memory deficits and AD/HD has established a new paradigm in which ADHD is seen not as a primary behavior disorder, but rather as a genetically determined, cognitive-developmental disorder. This new paradigm is sufficiently powerful to explain both the child who forgets to pick up his shoes and the adult executive who struggles to follow the content thread of meetings. It offers straightforward explanations for why children jump to the answer section on tests and why all of those "good ideas” are so challenging to implement and maintain. Most importantly, this new paradigm has inspired a decade of independent, peer-reviewed, published research on the efficacy of working memory training, and specifically, the efficacy of working memory training in the treatment of symptoms of ADHD. This talk will explain working memory, the connection to ADHD, the evidence for successful intervention with working memory training and the speaker’s experience with post-training work to build executive function skills.
Dr. Tracy Ware is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and a board-certified psychiatrist currently in private practice at Chapel Hill Psychiatric Associates in Carrboro, North Carolina.

ADHD Med Rules Matter
New brain science is changing the rules that govern medication management protocols. That new science is translated into common sense packages for everyday use by both public and professionals. In this session you'll understand the dramatic changes in diagnosis to help improve ADHD target recognition for more precise treatment strategies. You'll also learn about the variety of comorbid metabolic challenges that cause unpredictable outcomes: genetics, drug interactions, immune system, dosing strategies. Finally, you'll get vital information about how to use the new science to specifically dial in the effectiveness of each medication for each person, stimulant or non-stimulant.
Dr. Charles Parker.
In the last 10 years incredible neuroscience evidence about the communication networks between the brain and the body encourage a complete rethinking of the many psychiatric platitudes and inadequate labels used currently for patient care. Everyday I teach these new-science understandings to medical colleagues, the public and to clients in the consultant rooms. As a writer [Deep Recovery, ADHD Medication Rules, CorePsych Blog], a national speaker teaching the details for ADHD meds since 1996, a neuroscientist certified for SPECT brain imaging since 2003, and a practicing child and adult psychiatrist, I've repeatedly witnessed the limitations of imprecise thinking for years.

Healthy Body, Healthy Brain - What you can do to help you, and your family, think better and feel better.
Adults with ADHD often create a negative story about who they are and what they are capable of doing. They bury their strengths and live with a story that diminishes their self-esteem. They become slaves to a story with a set of beliefs that keeps them in bondage. The story and the associated beliefs are illusions that do not serve them well.
They need to learn they have the power to change their unhealthy stories that make them slaves to their negative thoughts and become the healthy, strong and powerful sultans of their own story. They are the kings and queens who can choose to create a story that raises them from being ruled by unchallenged beliefs that have enslaved them and focus their thoughts on stories that emphasize their ability to become the ruler of their own destiny.
It begins with learning how to challenge their own debilitating stories and give themselves permission to proceed with creating a true story that embellishes the royalty they already possess.Their story begins to positively change when they discover their strengths. These are the natural recurring patterns of success they have buried & are also an integral part of their unique brain wiring. By identifying the situations that ignite the invisible barriers of ADHD they can learn to effectively manage their challenges and gain access to their strengths.
David will share effective ways of making adults with ADHD more aware of their unique brain wiring so they can use it as a foundation for changing their story of "being a slave with broken flaws incapable of success " to a more empowering story of being "a sultan with unique strengths” who have the power to create their own majestic kingdom.
