Understanding ADHD: From Accurate Diagnosis to Family, Clinic & School Treatment Team

To kick off its 70th year of serving the community, Westchester Jewish Community Services (WJCS) is sponsoring the Dr. Samuel Kahn Memorial Lecture – Understanding ADHD: From Accurate Diagnosis to Family, Clinic & School Treatment Team – on Thursday, January 24 from 9:00 – 10:15 AM at WJCS Headquarters (845 North Broadway, White Plains, NY 10603). Dr. Margarita Munoz-Dummit, a board certified adult, child and adolescent psychiatrist who has worked for WJCS for 15 years, will discuss the evidence used to diagnose ADHD and to differentiate amongst the types of ADHD.  Because clinics, schools and families need to form a team to work effectively with ADHD, Dr. Munoz-Dummit will describe the contribution of each part of the team. This free event open to the community.  Registration required. To register, go to www.wjcs.com/kahnlecture.  For more information, contact John Alterman at 914-949-7699, Ext. 374 or jalterman@wjcs.com.
