ADHS-continuing education for doctors (II).: lnterdisciplinary continuing education concepts for the care of children with ADHS

There are discrepancies in the assessment of the diagnosis and therapy for ADHS even between professional working groups in the public health system. Added to this are the ideas of the parents and the afflicted, as well as the current trend to pool many of the problems in day to day education into this syndrome. Professional clarity is necessary. A few weeks after the consensus conference on ADHD in October 2002, the basis for the A.L.A.D.I.N. seminars was laid. All seminars were evaluated by the participants. In spite of a highly positive assessment, continual improvements were made from the start. The main idea of A.L.A.D.I.N. seminars facilitates interdisciplinary cooperation in the care for AND patients. In addition, there is also a clear necessity for interdisciplinary networking for the optimization of diagnosis and therapy.
