Episode Description

What do we know about combining and sequencing ADHD treatments for children? Are more interventions better and, if so, when? Treating ADHD in children can include stimulant medication, non-stimulants, and psychosocial interventions such as behavioral parent training, and school- and peer-based interventions, including summer treatment programs.

In this webinar, Mark A. Stein, Ph.D., will explain ADHD heterogeneity, the need to personalize treatment, and what we have learned in the last 30 years on combining and sequencing ADHD treatment for optimal care.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

      • ADHD heterogeneity and a precision medicine approach to treatment
      • The data on combining treatments for ADHD, including psychosocial, pharmacological, and family based treatments.
      • The challenges and strategies for optimizing multimodal treatment
      • Sequencing treatments — when to start, and when to add more.
      • When treatment is excessive based on impairing side effects.
