His goal is to help people with disabilities and families with special needs members plan for a better future. Ever since his son left for the residential school five years ago, he and his wife have been busy preparing themselves to help him.

  Dr. Ned Hallowell:  Making your life (with ADHD) VAST and full of potential
  

  Date:  April 27, 2023

  Time:  7:00–8:30 pm

  Location:  Lexington High School Auditorium

  251 Waltham Street Lexington MA 02421

  Making your life VAST and full of potential
  What if instead of thinking of ADHD as a deficit and a disorder, we saw it for what it really is, a way of being in the world which with the right support can be a wonderful way of being? Drs Hallowell and Ratey introduced a new term for ADHD in their latest book ADHD 2.0. It’s VAST, or Variable Attention Stimulus Trait. The old term with its emphasis on pathology, on a “deficit disorder” is inaccurate and stigmatizing. The new term is far more accurate, allowing for positive attributes, not just negative ones. Dr Hallowell explains the rich and complex world of VAST and how a simple change in framing can set off an entire shift in thinking and treatment.

  Edward (Ned) Hallowell, M.D. is a board-certified child and adult psychiatrist and world authority on ADHD. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Tulane Medical School, and was a Harvard Medical School faculty member for 21 years. He is the Founder of The Hallowell ADHD Centers in Boston MetroWest, New York City, San Francisco, Palo Alto and Seattle.
