DR. MONASTRA'S ADHD

EXPERT OPINION RECORDING

JANUARY 2013

CE Credit for psychologists is granted on a one credit per one contact hour basis.

In this 45-minute grand rounds recording, Dr. Vince Monastra reviews two case presentations by attending clinicians. The cases include:

• An 11 year old boy with attention and motor difficulties who had a history of assessments over the years, but nothing indicative for treatment. During an interview with a medical professional, suicidal thoughts were expressed.


• A 10-year old boy with a high level of distractibility and behavioural issues that might indicate Asperger’s syndrome.

The session includes a discussion of conflicting diagnoses with different assessments; examples of other non-psychological screening tools to perform with individuals and interesting tools as apps for smart phones and iPods.

Note: Individuals are not required to own the ADHD Assessment Suite to benefit from knowledge in this recording.

All views expressed in the recording are solely those of the presenters and participants and not those of the BFE.
