In today’s episode, I discuss ADHD with my guest, Dr. Audrey Benoit. Is your child showing signs of ADHD or do they simply struggle with inattention? What are some signs that you should get evaluated? Can children with ADHD be misdiagnosed? What are some aids provided in the classroom? Lastly, we discuss medications for ADHD, how they work and when it might be the right time for a child to start taking medication.
Dr. Audrey Benoit completed her doctoral studies in neuropsychology at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). Her doctoral research project focused on cognitive disorders in schizophrenia and first-episode psychosis at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute. She has also been awarded several research excellence scholarships for her contributions to the field of cognition in schizophrenia.
