Included in Registration

ADHD 201 is designed for clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of ADHD across the lifespan and refine evidence-based treatment strategies. This session brings together leading experts to address emerging science, evolving clinical challenges, and practical decision-making in ADHD care.

These four presentations will provide a comprehensive, clinically relevant update for practitioners managing ADHD across developmental stages and levels of complexity.

This session will provide an update on the status of, and procedures for, external review and incorporation of feedback, and anticipated timing of release. 

Guidelines Update

This session will provide an update on the development of the US Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of ADHD in Adulthood.  Overseen by APSARD and a Steering Committee chaired by Thomas Spencer, MD, and Frances Levin, MD, three subcommittees have been working for approximately the past two years on the development of guidelines for 1) Screening and Diagnosis; 2) Medication and other Medical Treatments; and 3) Psychosocial and Other Non-Medical Interventions. A Delphi process involving successive rounds of writing, discussion, and voting followed by Steering Committee review (Stage 1), is being followed by two rounds of external review that are in progress. CHADD is partnering with APSARD as the guidelines development moves through these stages to include the perspectives of individuals with lived experience and to make plans for dissemination. 

Wellness Walk & Yoga

Join fellow APSARD participants and center your mind and your body with a morning yoga wellness walk. This immersive morning experience blends gentle movement, meditation, and breath work with stunning San Diego waterfront views. You will be guided with the group through key aspects of the Downtown San Diego area including beautiful city parks, striking architectural designs, and culturally significant sights. The purpose is to leave you feeling calm, connected, and motivated to take on the day ahead!

Saturday, January 17th - 5:45AM-6:45AM Pacific
