Helping Children with ADHD: an Interview with Dr. Patricia Quinn

By Amy

In this clip I interviewed Dr. Patricia Quinn, a developmental pediatrician in Washington, D.C., and expert in child development,  Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and learning disabilities.  Dr. Quinn is the author of more than 20 books on ADHD, including the best-selling "Putting on the Brakes: A Young People's Guide to Understanding Attention Deficit Disorder,"  is on the board of ADDitude magazine, and is currently the director of the National Center for Girls and Women with ADHD.

During this interview Dr. Quinn discusses the signs of ADHD, how to help a child deal with ADHD at home and at school, updates on medications used in the treatment of ADHD, and the differences in how boys and girls experience ADHD.
