2011/02/25 - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Adopted Children: Difficulties in Attention or Attachment? Presented by Ms. Ru

Our thanks to the large group of parents and professionals who joined us for our AFHK Parent Support Meeting on Feb 25, 2011.  We're also grateful to Ms. Ruby Mui, who spoke on the topic: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Adopted Children: Difficulties in Attention or Attachment?

Ms. Mui, who has a background in both Special Education and Clinical Psychology, explained how some of the common symptoms of ADHD are also impacted by insecure attachment, and the need to address both the attention and attachment issues. 

As promised, we are providing the slides from the presentation.  Please note that we are providing this information to assist our members and this is not a substitute for professional consultation or treatment.
