Abstract
S THURSDAY 5TH MAY Workshop: Adult ADHD: Assessment, Diagnosis and Intervention Caroline Fisher1, Nicci Grace1, Mary Castellani1 and Eddie Tsang1 1Neuropsychology Service, The Melbourne Clinic, Melbourne, Australia This workshop is targeted at clinicians who are interested in developing clinical knowledge and skills in the assessment and diagnosis of adults with ADHD, as well as ways to support with neurocognitive intervention. Increasingly, adults of all ages are being referred to neuropsychology for diagnostic clarification of possible ADHD. This is likely due to increased community awareness and greater understanding of this condition. Adults with ADHD typically also present with longstanding challenges with mental health and emotional dysregulation, and this can be a complicating factor when providing diagnostic clarification. The workshop will be interactive and include case studies. It will cover three main areas: 1) Clinical features of ADHD in adults, what to look for and ask about in history taking. How undiagnosed ADHD may have impacted on functioning, as well as common mental health and neurodevelopmental comorbidities. 2) Recommendations for conducting a neuropsychology diagnostic assessment including; clinical and cognitive features of ADHD in adults and how to identify these alongside other Abstract 347
期刊介绍:
The journal addresses topics related to the aetiology, epidemiology, treatment and outcomes of brain impairment with a particular focus on the implications for functional status, participation, rehabilitation and quality of life. Disciplines reflect a broad multidisciplinary scope and include neuroscience, neurology, neuropsychology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology, social work, and nursing. Submissions are welcome across the full range of conditions that affect brain function (stroke, tumour, progressive neurological illnesses, dementia, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, etc.) throughout the lifespan.
