Medication has been recommended as a first line treatment for children who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). However, many parents have reservations about introducing medication as part of ADHD management for their child, citing concerns about side effects, preference for non-medication intervention and fears about over reliance on pharmaceutical means to manage ADHD symptoms.
To celebrate the official launch of Unlocking ADHD and in conjunction with ADHD Awareness Month in October, we are delighted to introduce Dr Dan Shapiro, renowned American Board Certified Developmental-Behavioural Pediatrician, Dr Dan Shapiro of Parent Child Journey, as our Opening Speaker. Dr Dan will be sharing evidence based information about medication and also his experience as a clinician in this area.
