How NOT to Misdiagnose ADHD in Children — in-person training | Warsaw
ADHD is now one of the most frequently given diagnoses when working with children. But meeting criteria does not always mean an accurate diagnosis. This training is about clinical thinking — differentiating, pausing, and diagnostic responsibility, especially when time pressure and parents’ expectations are high.

Saturday 9:00–18:00
Sunday 9:00–13:00
