ADHD Help

I am looking forward to my first video ADHD seminar.

You can learn about ADHD without even having to leave your own home.  This seminar is specially designed for parents who have just found out that their child has ADHD.  I will discuss how ADHD is diagnosed, the causes of ADHD, and parents’ responses to learning that their child has been diagnosed.  Frequently parents don’t feel that they have the opportunity to ask questions when they visit the doctor.  After all, doctors are busy and often don’t appear to have much time to spend with the parents.

If you are anything like me, I always remember my best questions after I leave the doctor’s office. Please email me your questions when you think of them.  When you sign up for my email newsletter, you can reply to them and I will get your emails.   The questions will either be answered live, or, for those questions I am unable to answer during the seminar, I will email the questions and answers to everybody who attends.  There will also be a comprehensive discussion guide and a chance for you to win a free magic trick grab-bag for your child.  The Puppet Dr. C., Mr. Splinter, and Mrs. Splinter (Elwood’s parents)  will all participate.  I hope that you will be able to attend my first video teleconference. I guarantee that my seminar will be a unique, enjoyable way to learn about ADHD.

This weekend Elwood and I led a workshop on social skills training for ChADD in Tucson. About 40 people attended, including 17 children. My goal was to present in such a fashion that it was attractive to the children as well as to the adults. I began with a vignette with Elwood in which we discussed the importance of communication, cooperation, kindness, and conflict resolution. After that Elwood shrunk my head. I am going to try to put the head shrinking up on my page. Everybody seemed to enjoy our presentation.

I have been thinking a great deal about how to conduct attractive and productive video seminars. I think that I will alternate between sessions for the parents and special entertaining therapeutic shows for the children. I will let you know when more information is available.

My thoughts have turned to 9/11. Currently I work at Fort Huachuca, an Army post in Southeastern Arizona. Not only am I remembering 9/11 but also quite aware of the impact the attack has had on young soldiers. I sincerely hope that peace will be with us in the near future.

Ever since I have been counseling children and families, I have tried to combine my entertaining talents with my therapy skills in order to make my treatments more powerful.  I even conducted workshops for mental health professionals on how to use unique toys to improve counseling skills.  I also conducted workshops for ventriloquists on puppet therapy.  In fact, I am an honorary member of the Japanese Puppet Therapy Association.

For a long time I have wanted to use my skills to provide group family treatment for ADHD families.  However, living in a small town, it is difficult to start this type of group.  Also most people accept the fact that it is tricky to run groups for children with ADHD since they tend to set each other off.

That is why I have finally decided to run these groups online.  I am actively preparing them and hope that some of you will be interested in participating.  We can have fun while simultaneously improving the quality of family life.  More information will follow.
