The Impact of Under-Recognized ADHD in Marginalized Communities Across the Lifespan

Presented by Napoleon Higgins, MD
2022 International Conference on ADHD

ADHD affects individuals and outcomes across the lifespan. Napoleon Higgins, MD, discusses how marginalized communities are affected by undertreated ADHD. He examines the issue of bias in clinicians and educators and how this bias affects diagnosis and treatment. How can we close the gap regarding treatment and prevent poor outcomes from ADHD?

The conference brings together the ADHD community for expert-led sessions, practical strategies, and meaningful conversations designed for adults with ADHD, parents, educators, and clinicians—all accessible online from wherever you are.
