We welcome Dr. Harlan Gephart who will bring us the latest need-to-know information about ADHD. Dr. Gephart, a very experienced developmental pediatrician who has evaluated, treated individuals, and provided support and education for those with ADHD in the greater Seattle area, speaks to us in our first meeting in our new space on Thursday, Sept. 20. Dr. Gephart is a UW School of Medicine Emeritus Clinical Professor. Dr. Gephart continues to train the next generation of pediatricians through the Reach Institute. We celebrate the publication of his new book about ADHD to be published this September.
Dr. Gephart will speak about the comprehensive nature of ADHD and its effects upon so many aspects of life. Dr. Gephart will explain how he talks about ADHD to patients of different age groups and to their parents. He will also explain how parents can talk with their children at different points in development so that they really understand what ADHD is to enlist them in their own self-care.
When parents understand ADHD, they are more able to effectively have a meaningful conversation with their kids to allow them to be good self-advocates and treatment partners with their doctors, their teachers, and their peers.
