ADHD is routinely under-diagnosed in African-American children due to myriad factors, including structural inequalities in medical care and schools across the U.S. But even when ADHD is diagnosed in African-American children, it often goes untreated due to the cultural misconceptions and stigma about the disorder — and a deep distrust of the medical community — by people of color. But when ADHD is untreated in children, the risk for poor outcomes in academic and social settings increases.
In this webinar, clinicians, educators, and caregivers will learn:
- Why the stigma and cultural misconceptions around ADHD impede proper treatment by families of color
- How to bust common ADHD myths and get to the root of the problem
- About strategies to assess and treat ADHD that align with cultural beliefs and values of Black and minority families
- How clinicians, educators, and caregivers can apply evidence-based practices to a clinical, educational, and home environment
