Author of more than 20 books, rating scales and clinical manuals, Russell Barkley is an internationally-recognized authority on ADHD. His work is considered to be the cornerstone for best practices in the assessment and management of ADHD.
In this 3-hour webinar, Dr. Barkley will update you on:
- The latest information about how to diagnose and manage ADHD as it manifests in childhood vs adulthood
- Major advances in pharmaceutical and psychosocial treatments of ADHD
- The diagnosis, management of the lesser known attention disorder: Sluggish Cognitive Tempo
Advances in Diagnosis, Etiologies and Management of ADHD:
Clinicians are becoming increasingly aware that ADHD in childhood does not disappear over development and that many individuals with the disorder in childhood will continue to manifest the disorder into adulthood. In fact, research indicates that ADHD will persist into adolescence in up to 80 percent of the childhood cases, and into adulthood in up to 65 percent of these cases.
With ADHD being one of the most common childhood behavioural disorders, mental health, medical and other professionals need to update themselves on current research findings on diagnosis and treatment for both children AND adults.
This presentation will provide current information on the diagnosis of ADHD and changes that were made in the DSM5 diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Highlighted will be recommendations for addressing inadequacies in these current diagnostic criteria. The presentation will also include a discussion of the major domains of causes of ADHD and their likely interactions. Dr. Barkley will then provide an overview of the major advances that have occurred in medications and psychosocial treatments of ADHD including a discussion of experimental and disproven management methods.
The Other Attention Disorder: Diagnosis, Nature, and Management of Sluggish Cognitive Tempo vs. ADHD:
Studies of children having ADD without Hyperactivity suggest an important subset of ADHD with a pattern of symptoms distinct from the better known markers of ADHD. These symptoms included daydreaming, mental fogginess and confusion, staring, slow processing of information, hypoactivity, slow movement, and lethargy, among others. How many clients have you encountered who exhibit an attention deficit disorder of low power, arousal, or focus?
Since 1798, the medical literature on attention disorders has identified at least two kinds. The first is very well-known: a disorder of distractibility, lack of sustained attention, and poor inhibition. The second one has been largely ignored for 2 centuries until the mid-1980s.
This lesser known disordered is called sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT). Controversy has continued over the past 25 years on the nature of SCT and whether it is a subtype of ADHD or a distinct disorder from it.
In this presentation, Dr. Barkley reviews the history of SCT and what is known about it from past research. He also describes the results of his own recent investigations into SCT in children and the only study of SCT in adults that he recently published, all of which suggest that SCT is a distinct disorder from ADHD but one that may overlap with it in nearly half of all cases. Dr. Barkley discusses the differences between SCT in symptoms, executive functioning, comorbidity for other disorders, and psychosocial impairment and what little is known about differential treatment response. He also discusses several different possibilities for explaining the underlying nature of SCT.
Part 1: Advances in Diagnosis, Etiologies and Management of ADHD
By the end of this training, attendees will be better able to –
- List the primary characteristics of ADHD and explain it as a disorder of executive functioning and self-regulation
- Discuss the issues involved in the diagnosis and subtyping of ADHD and adjustments made in DSM5 criteria
- Explain advances in the causes of ADHD and their likely interactions
- Explain an overview of the advances made in treatments for ADHD including medications and psychosocial treatments
Part 2: The Other Attention Disorder: Diagnosis, Nature, and Management of Sluggish Cognitive Tempo vs. ADHD
By the end of this training, attendees will be better able to –
- Provide a Brief Review of Medical History of ADHD and Subtypes
- Discuss Problems with Current Subtyping
- Review Discovery of SCT Symptoms within ADD without Hyperactivity
- Review Research Findings on Children and Adults with High SCT vs. ADHD
- Discuss Treatment Research and Its Implications for Management of SCT

This the second of a series of 3 webinars presented by Dr. Barkley on ADHD and related disorders. Like our first webinar, this webinar is a 2-for-1: Dr. Barkley will be presenting 2 webinar topics: Oppositional Defiant Disorder Management and ADHD Medication Management.
Lecture 1: The Four Factor Theory and ODD Management
Defiant behaviour in children, or Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), is among the leading reasons for the referral of children to child mental health centres and is a major cause of parental distress in raising children. This lecture will discuss the nature of ODD as a two-dimensional condition (emotional dysregulation, social conflict) that arises both directly and indirectly out of the interplay of four major factors, commonly known as The Four-Factor Model of Defiant Behaviour.
You will learn in detail about these four factors along with the reciprocal nature of parent-child interactions involving noncompliance and defiance and the important role played by negative reinforcement in generating, sustaining, and even escalating the frequency and severity of such interactions through a process of family social coercion. The implications of this model for the management of child defiant behaviour and parent-child conflicts will be discussed. Dr. Barkley will use his own parent training program, Defiant Children, to illustrate the methods that need to be conveyed to parents to treat ODD as well as the elements that are common to the effectiveness of all behavioural parent training programs.
Lecture 2: Medication Management of ADHD
The past 10-15 years have witnessed a number of major developments in the medications and delivery systems available for the management of ADHD. In this session, Dr. Barkley updates you on the types of medications now available for ADHD management and the various delivery systems developed to extend the effectiveness of the medications across the day. For each medication, he will present the major beneficial effects and side effects. He will also discuss various issues clinicians should consider in selecting particular medications to use with a patient with ADHD, such as those issues related to the social context, the patient’s characteristics, and any comorbid conditions that may exist.
By the end of this training, attendees will be better able to –
- Explain the nature of defiant, oppositional, or non-compliant behaviour in children
- Describe the four major factors that contribute to such behaviour, known as the Four-Factor Model of Defiant Behaviour
- Apply the implications of this model to the evaluation and assessment of children with this behaviour pattern
- Discuss the treatment implications that arise from an understanding of this model
- Explain the most effective elements of behavioural parent training to reduce childhood defiant behaviour and improve parent-child relationships

All ADHD is not the same in terms of management or presentation.
Over 80% of children and adults with ADHD have at least one other psychiatric disorder and more than 50% have at least two such comorbid disorders. Research now shows that the second disorder that co-exists with ADHD often has a significant clinical impact on both the understanding of the joint presentation of these disorders and the treatment of them.
Topics to be covered in this webinar include: Past approaches to ADHD subtyping; Using comorbidity to clinically subtype ADHD; Prevalence of comorbidity in ADHD; and specific disorders and their treatment implications, such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Depression, BiPolar Disorder, Autistic Spectrum Disorders, Tics and OCD, and Learning Disabilities, among others.
By the end of this training, attendees will be better able to—
- Discuss the most common comorbid disorders that co-exist with ADHD and the reasons they may be associated with ADHD.
- Explain the possible effects these comorbid disorders may have on both understanding the clinical case and in selecting treatment options to address both the ADHD and the comorbid disorder.
- Explain the impact of comorbid oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, tic disorders and OCD, sleep disorders, and learning disabilities.
- Describe how co-morbidities may alter treatment planning.
