Greetings from Leelanau!

The Leelanau School will be hosting Dr. Ned Hallowell’s ADHD Summer Enrichment Camp July 9 – 13, 2007. This program is open to adults of all ages and professions – as well as for students entering grades 5 to 12.

From childhood through adulthood, ADHD can present both difficult dilemmas as well as unique opportunities for change, growth, and success.  Dr. Hallowell defines the goal of diagnosis and treatment as the transforming of ADHD from a chronic liability into an overall asset in life.  In 25 years of working with people of all ages who have ADHD, Dr. Hallowell has learned that a strength-based approach to diagnosis and treatment leads to the best outcomes.  From the very first moment the clinician meets the patient or client, he or she looks for talents, skills, and strengths and builds a program geared to promote those first and foremost.  This approach mobilizes hope, excitement, and a cascade of positive energy. Interweaving introductory information with advanced material, this seminar will explore the entire world of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in its human dimensions as well as its clinical and scientific.
