Event Details

Sarah Cheyette, MD, a Neurologist from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation who treats children and adults, Benjamin Cheyette, MD, PhD, an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at UCSF, and Peter Johnson, a seventh-degree black belt in Karate – are happy to discuss their approach to the treatment of ADHD described in their new collaborative book, ‘ADHD & The Focused Mind: A Guide to Giving Your ADHD Child Focus, Discipline & Self-Confidence. Their book aims to provide parents with an easy-to-understand approach to changing their children’s mindset and behavior by introducing simple, powerful concepts to keep their child motivated.

Their presentation will include an explanation of the basics of ADHD—its common behavioral symptoms, the biology behind it, and what research has revealed about it – as well as issues faced by many adults with ADHD and parents of children with ADHD when considering prescription medications and other approaches to treatment.
