Why everything in one book/lecture?
![Page 3: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Problems
• ADHD as classically defined
• Other Executive Function problems
• Co-Occurring Problems of the Syndrome Mix
• Family Problems
![Page 4: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The goal of laying out the problems of the Syndrome Mix:
“Okay, my kid has a short attention span, but why does he/she…?”
![Page 5: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Our task
• Sort out: – co-occurring– mimicking– exacerbating.
• Unless you identify, you cannot discuss or treat.
![Page 6: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Depressing?
•Neurological basis–Not the child’s “fault.”–Not the parents’ “fault.”
![Page 7: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Neuroanatomy of ADHD
• MRIs of ADHD group demonstrated smaller:– Frontal cortex– Subcortical areas (striate: caudate,
putamen, gp)• Striate-frontal paths involved with: • motor control• executive function• inhibition of behavior• modulation of rewards.• Rich in catecholamines
![Page 8: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Functional Neuroimaging
PET and fMRI (measures neuronal use of deoxyhemoglobin) suggest:– Prefrontal abnormalities– Disturbed dopamine activity
![Page 9: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
D4 receptor in ADHD
Strongest association with 7 repeat allele of the dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4).
![Page 10: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Neurophysiology of ADHD
• Too little NE driving the frontal lobes.– “Frontal lobe brakes haven’t been woken up.”
• Too little DA from frontal inhibitory projections onto the striate.– “Frontal lobe brakes are weak.”
![Page 11: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

The brain is a bunch of chemicals with
illusions of grandeur.

ADHD:The Traditional, Boring Definition
Triad of:
• Inattention
• Hyperactivity
• Impulsivity
![Page 14: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Six or more symptoms of inattention

(b) difficulty sustaining attention
(c) does not seem to listen when spoken to directly
(h) easily distracted by extraneous stimuli
(e) difficulty organizing tasks
(d) fails to follow through (not volitional/incapable)
(f) avoids tasks requiring sustained organization
(g) looses things needed for tasks
(i) often forgetful in daily activities
![Page 15: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

![Page 16: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
DSM: 3 Types of ADHD
• ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type
• ADHD, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
• ADHD, Combined Type
![Page 17: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Typical, Boring and Useless Description of ADHD
“Johnny is very active! He never stops moving. He gets distracted by any little noise, and has the attention span of a flea. Often, he acts before he thinks. His sister, Jill, is often in a fog. Sometimes, she’s just so spaced!”
![Page 18: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
More Accurate Description
“I can’t take it any more!! We scream all morning to get out of the house. Homework takes hours. If I don’t help him with his work, he’s so disorganized that he’ll never do well. If I do help him, he screams at me. Since he never finishes anything, everyone thinks he doesn’t care….
![Page 19: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
No matter how much we beg or punish, he keeps doing the same stupid things over and over again. He never considers the consequences of his actions, and doesn’t seem to care if they hurt me. It’s so easy for him to get overwhelmed. Sometimes, he just wants to ‘turn the noise off….’
![Page 20: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
He is so inflexible, and then blows up over anything. It gets me so angry that I scream back, which makes everything even worse. Now that he’s getting older, the lies and the cursing are getting worse, too. I know he has trouble paying attention, but why does he have all of these other problems as well?”

New Concept of ADHD: A Problem with Inhibition
• There is deficient frontal and pre-frontal lobe function in ADHD.
• These pre-frontal lobes are the home of our executive and braking functions.
• ADHDers show executive dysfunction and brakeless behaviors.
![Page 24: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
New Definition of ADHD
• The inability to inhibit the present with an eye to the future. –Russell Barkley
• “Living RIGHT NOW!!!”
![Page 25: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

This is what Mom sees:
![Page 27: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Executive Function (EF) (Russell Barkley)
• Frontal lobe (executive) functions:– Inhibition (brakes) – Orchestrating the brain (CEO)– Self talk– Working memory– FORESIGHT– Hindsight– Shifting agenda– Separating emotion from fact
![Page 28: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Inhibition / Brakes
Most basic EF is putting on brakes.
1. We need to be able to inhibit distractions/impulses/hyperactivity (can play video games)
2. Unless we stop first, never get to use other EFs.
![Page 29: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
CEO
• “Self” is a barely coherent collection of parallel processes.
• When speech or memory centers used, we become aware.
• No one is in charge.
• Frontal lobes try their best to orchestrate.
![Page 30: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Self-Talk
• Toddlers do it out loud.
• ADHDers never get to practice.
• ADHDers don’t internalize self talk. poor problem solving.
![Page 31: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Working Memory
• What we can juggle electrically.
• 512 megs RAM
• Need to access past, present, and future simultaneously.
• Not exercised without brakes in ADHD.
![Page 32: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Foresight
• Ability to predict and plan for the future.
• Poor without ability to inhibit present or keep the future in working memory.
• ADHD: prisoners of present.
• Poor foresight is perhaps greatest disability of ADHD.
• (Mothers typically have great foresight.)
![Page 33: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Foresight
![Page 34: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Hindsight Sense of time
• Ability to recall success of past strategies.
• ADHDers don’t learn from their mistakes!
• Extremely poor in ADHD.
• Poor estimates.• Time moves too
quickly.• Time moves too
slowly.
![Page 35: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Shifting Agenda
• Switching requires sustained effort and control.
• Difficult in ADHD.
• Kids need warnings.
![Page 36: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Separating Emotion from Fact
• Every event has:1. Objective reality (ex: traffic jam)
2. Emotional tag
• Separating the two requires time to reflect.
• Result is poor ability to judge significance of events.
![Page 37: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Actual Symptoms of Executive Dysfunction
• Distractible– Inadequate inhibition of extraneous stimuli.
• Impulsive– Inadequate inhibition of internal stimuli.
• Hyperactive– Physically checking out those stimuli.

Keep It Positive
• Celebrate ADHD strengths:– “Why not?” attitude– Energy– Creativity
• Communicate that you believe in the child.
• Criticize/Hate ADHD, not the person.
![Page 73: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Keep It Positive
• Instead of punishing bad behavior, encourage good response to replace it. (Barkley)
• Redirect rather than punish.
• Only positive reinforcement changes behavior and attitude.
• Don’t mock.
• Need subtle corrections.
![Page 74: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Positive: Bank Account
• Imaginary bank account of good/bad times.
• Keep the bank account positive.– Laugh/hug.– Spend time together without being annoying!– Accept apologies.– Take the good times as they come.– Find something to praise.
![Page 75: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
The “No Fault” Approach(Zeigler-Dendy)
Avoid arguments based on “whose fault.”
• This is the rule.
• It was broken.
• This is the pre-set consequence.
• I feel your pain.
![Page 76: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Benefits of No Fault
• Avoids arguments.
• Good with people who refuse to accept blame. (There is no blame.)
• Allows us to criticize the behavior, not the child.
• Might occasionally be unfair, but good in the long run.
![Page 77: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
Nice Traffic Cop
• Imagine you get pulled over for speeding.
• The policeman gives you the ticket AND starts calling you lazy and worthless….
• When we hand out the punishments, let’s leave the nasty comments behind.
![Page 78: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Phelan’s 4 Cardinal Sins
• Don’t nag. It hasn’t worked yet.
• Don’t lecture. Ditto.– “Insight transplants” don’t work.
• Don’t argue. It takes two.
• Don’t offer unscheduled advice.
I.e., if it’s not useful, don’t do it.
![Page 79: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Maintain a Disability Outlook (Barkley)
• Cuts through “blame.”• Parents become “therapists” not “victims.”• Realistic outlook minimizes frustration.
– Frustration occurs when outcome < > expectations
• ADHD does not define the child: you can still celebrate the good parts of ADHD and the person!
![Page 80: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Seek to Understand
• Model listening and re-phrasing.
• Ask question: “Why did he do that?”
• Answer: “What would someone do if they could only see 4 seconds into the future?”
• It’s their disability. Don’t take it personally. You just happen to be there.
![Page 81: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Let the Teen Be a Partner
• Let teen be involved.
• Give choices empowerment
• Negotiate.– No other choice.– Model seeking “Win/Win” solutions.– Parent gets final stand.
• ADHDers love to think it’s their idea.
![Page 82: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Plan A: Token/Reward Systems
(Barkley)
![Page 83: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Criteria for Behavior Mod.
• Worth changing.
• Under child’s ability to control.
• It’s the child’s problem.
• The reward system is likely to work.
• Cooler heads can apply it
![Page 84: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Reward/Token Systems
• ADHDers are moths. Make brightest light productive.
• Bribes= illicit behavior (besides, appeal to ethics hasn’t worked).
• Frequent, strong, immediate feedback.
• Rewards need rotation.
• Rules reviewed before needed.
![Page 85: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Reward Systems
• Keep punishments short, immediate.
• Avoid spiraling threats/punishments.
• Goal is correction for “next time,” not sadism.
• Difficult to maintain.
• Best with elementary age children.
![Page 86: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
• Most children respond to enticements/threats.
• Your child probably isn’t one of them.
• You’re ready for:
![Page 87: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Plan B
Dr. Ross Greene
The Explosive Child
![Page 88: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Plan B:Behavior modification via
staying calm to prevent “meltdowns.”
“Just STOP!”
![Page 89: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
What’s Going On?
• First scenario: – Mother: “John, can you please go do two hours
of homework?”– John: “Stop! Go away!”
• Second scenario:– Mother: “John, can I make you fresh pancakes
for breakfast?”– John: “Stop! Go away!”
![Page 90: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Just STOP!
• ADHD is deficiency of frontal lobe brakes.
• First step is to STOP.
• It works! Even 5-10 minutes.
• Once under control: – Correct choice is obvious to child.– Correct parenting is obvious to parent.
![Page 91: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
The Overwhelmed Speedometer
• Imagine a stress speedometer
• At 60 mph, back wheels spin out and crash is inevitable.
• Inherit child at 40mph. – “Calming” brings to 30mph keep at it.– “Calming” brings to 50mph stop before
spinout.
![Page 92: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
After stopping, next:
Defuse, don’t inflame:
• Lower your voice. Stay calm.
• State rule once.
• Leave.
• Ignore the ravings of an out-of-control blob of neurons.
![Page 93: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
After stopping:
Discussion will resume later when it can be useful. You are not giving in.
Once calm: negotiate, negotiate, negotiate.
![Page 94: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
One more time:
Your ADHD child is much more likely over-whelmed than evil.
• Evil behaviors need to be squelched.
• Over-whelmed behaviors need to be calmly defused.
![Page 95: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Pop Quiz
A 13-year-old son with ADHD discovers that his bite-plate is missing from its handy container. He angrily accuses everyone else of having taken it. His mother explains the blatantly obvious fact that no one else would be interested in his used dental appliance. He continues screaming and blaming her for its absence.
![Page 96: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)

Question 2
The accusatory behavior of this otherwise bright child can best be explained by:
a) He’s not quite smart enough to comprehend that his bite-plate isn’t worth stealing.
b) He’s overwhelmed by frustration.
![Page 98: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Question 3
Yelling back and accusing your child of behaving horribly would:
a) Prompt him to say, “Oh, thanks for helping me see the error of my ways.”

![Page 99: Chadd Syndrome Mix And Rx1](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061218/54b5d4984a7959400b8b4640/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Question 4
An initial attempt at helping him solve the problem is unsuccessful. A useful parental response at this point would be:
