The CHADD Annual International Conference is the major research, practice and public information conference dedicated to issues related to AD/HD. Conference sessions will focus on providing current science-based information and the impact of this information on treatment plans for individuals with AD/HD. The conference will bring together researchers, clinicians, educators, adults with AD/HD, parents, and others. Major goals for the conference are to disseminate the latest developments in research; to facilitate an ongoing exchange about issues related to AD/HD by individuals with different experiences and viewpoints; and to increase public understanding of the disorder and its impact.

Proposals for presentations are invited. Empirical studies and best practices science-based intervention strategies are preferred, but others will be given consideration. These can include, but are not limited to, collaborative practices, learning differences, implementation of IDEA and Section 504, advocacy empowerment, research, educational interventions, inclusion, parent training, multimodal treatments issues particular to distinct populations (i.e. age, gender, ethnicity, etc.), co-existing conditions, diagnosis and treatment, and innovative programs.

These proposals will be organized by tracks - common topics of interest - that foster exchange, debate, and dialogue among conference attendees.
