Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hi, good afternoon is Susan K Susan Coffin from Attitude magazine. This is our ADHD

awareness webinar series and we are very excited today to have Dr. Net Hollowell join us. As many of you may know, Dr. Hallowell

is a child and adolescent psychiatrist, a New York

speaker in the field of ADHD.

He's the author of over 18 books,

has been a member of the Harvard Medical School faculty for a number of years,

and we're fortunate to have him today.

Dr Howell will speak briefly, and then we will be answering some of the questions that you've submitted,

some in advance and some now, which I'll submit to Dr. Hollowell and you'll all be able to listen to.
