Course Overview
Managing Complexities of Care in Children and Adolescents with ADHD
Overview: This supplement, originally published in Contemporary Pediatrics, is based on a multi-disciplinary roundtable meeting. Faculty experts exchanged ideas about current challenges in identifying and diagnosing ADHD, guideline recommendations for selecting and monitoring therapies, the need for appropriately identifying and managing comorbidities, the need for sustained treatment and behavioral interventions for this chronic illness, and strategies for managing the challenges of ADHD in the school setting. This article offers an overview of that discussion and expands upon key topics with support from current medical literature.
