There is a sense of urgency among older ADHD adults that is absent in younger adults; so much time has been ‘wasted’ without treatment.

This session turns a magnifying glass on the newest (and most surprised) members of the ADHD adult population: seniors. It offers information and practical advice for coping with ADHD while wearing bifocals.
