Women with ADHD are often unseen in medical literature. Only a few studies across a broad range of journals have attempted to research how hormonal increase during the menstrual period affects ADHD severity, and even fewer have focused on potentially how the hormonal change through menstrual cycles impacts medication efficacy or vitamin deficits.
Join Faith Hendon for a discussion and meta-analysis of current research within and external to the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) focusing on ADHD and women, with a secondary focus on cyclic (menstrual/hormonal) patterns of observable symptoms and behaviors.
This free talk is held in conjunction with The Unseen art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans gallery (February 3-25, 2023).
The talk will be online through the Zoom platform. Registered participants will be sent the connection information via email one day in advance and approximately one hour before the talk. You may attend on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
