Welcome Letter From The Conference Chairs
Welcome to the 30th Annual International Conference on ADHD. We think you will love our theme, “Connect & Recharge.”
This year, CHADD and ADDA have joined forces to provide you with an extraordinary experience. We’re bringing you all
that you love about both the CHADD and ADDA conferences: inspiring keynote speeches, another hilarious and heartfelt
Rick Green show for our Friday Fundraiser, continuing education presentations by top-notch researchers and clinicians,
tips for parents and adults, and plenty of support. To that we add everything you may have wished to experience about
ADDA: the talent show, the speakers, the camaraderie, the fun! This is part of the “Connect” theme.
And, it’s in Atlanta, home of unbelievable foodie experiences, including (no surprise) barbecue! …55 streets with
“Peachtree” in the name! …the world’s busiest (and hopefully convenient) airport! …the Atlanta Braves! Take some time
to connect with Atlanta.
As always, CHADD provides three days of exciting programs and events. But this year, there’s an extra half day on
Sunday that is all ADDA. So you can sample among a tremendous array of topics presented by nationally and world-
reknowned experts, network with friends you see just once a year at the conference, and make new friends. Relax,
connect, and recharge in an ADHD-friendly environment!
We listened to your suggestions for how to make our programming even more accessible. One that really registered
with us was that adults with ADHD find it hard to sit and concentrate for 90 minutes. We heard you. This year, sessions
are 75 minutes long. Not a big difference, but we hope it’s enough to make a difference without compromising
programming. And it allowed us enough additional time in the schedule for one extra time slot on Friday and Saturday.
So you’ll get shorter sessions and more good stuff to see.
Professionals who need continuing education will find that the Thursday schedule is unchanged, with two sessions
daily, three hours each. You’ll have an opportunity to explore key topics in depth from true experts. And two Research
Symposia, moderated by Dr. James Swanson on Friday and Saturday, give you the opportunity to hear researchers
discussing their current work.
You will find exciting topics for medical and mental health professionals, educators, adults with ADHD, parents of
children with ADHD, coaches, and everybody else interested in ADHD. Find out what is current in diagnosis and
treatment of ADHD and co-occurring conditions. Explore topics such as legal issues affecting individuals with ADHD,
slow cognitive tempo, time management, and motivation. Gain an understanding of educational supports for students
with ADHD.
Sure, you can sit at your computer and download practically anything you want to know about ADHD, but here you will
meet the authors of those articles, ask the questions that are on your mind, share insights with old and new friends, and
laugh with people who share your journey.
Take advantage of all of the formal and informal opportunities to get to know other participants, organizers, and
speakers. Have lunch with a new friend. Exchange concerns and experiences in a networking session. Have a few
laughs at our evening events. Take home lots of new ideas and good memories.
It’s all here for you to absorb and enjoy, so Connect and Recharge with CHADD and ADDA!

2017 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADHD
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
Life for individuals with ADHD is riddled with difficulties in functions,
interpersonal, social, academic, and professional skills. ADHD causes
significant impairments in school, work and relationships. When not properly
identified, diagnosed, and treated, it may have potentially devastating
consequences including substance abuse, accidental injuries, and legal
difficulties.
ADHD is highly manageable with an individualized multimodal treatment
approach that can include behavioral interventions, parent/patient training,
educational support and medication.
CHADD is dedicated to improving the lives of the 17 million children and adults
in the United States living with ADHD every day, and all who support them. We
invite you to lean more by visiting CHADD.ORG or contacting us at 301-306-
7070.
ADDA provides information, resources and networking opportunities to
help adults with ADHD lead better lives. We provide hope, empowerment,
and connections worldwide by bringing together science and the human
experience for both adults with ADHD and professionals who serve them.
ADDA is constantly seeking new ways and introducing new programs to help
adults with ADHD live better lives. If you’re an adult with ADHD (or you love
one), learn more about what we can do to help make your (or their) life better

2017 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADHD
Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/
Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD)
CHADD was formed in 1987 by a small group of parents in Florida who felt frustrated, isolated, and unsupported in
their quest to better understand their child’s ADHD diagnosis. At that time, there were very few places one could turn
for ADHD support or information. Many misunderstood ADHD, including clinicians and educators. Individuals with
ADHD were often mistakenly labeled as “a behavior problem” or “not intelligent enough.” It was at that time CHADD’s
mission was established: To improve the lives of people affected by ADHD.
From a small parent support group in Florida, the organization grew dramatically, becoming the leading international
nonprofit organization supporting children and adults with ADHD. Through public and private resources, CHADD is able
to disseminate scientifically proven information on the disorder.
CHADD has been at the forefront in creating and implementing exceptional programs and services in response to the
needs of the ADHD community through collaborative partnerships and advocacy, including:
• Training for parents and K-12 teachers
• Hosting educational webinars and workshops presented by leading ADHD experts
• Being an informational clearinghouse for the latest evidence-based ADHD information
• Employing health information specialists who provide immediate support to individuals who need a wide range
of services from crisis intervention to referrals for healthcare or legal professionals.
CHADD is a success story, inspired by the desired of parents to see their children with ADHD succeed. With the help
of more than 10,000 members, 175 affiliates, and countless volunteers, CHADD continues to provide support, increase
awareness and dispel negative stigmas associated with ADHD on a local and national level.
