30 Essential Ideas about ADHD - Dr. Russell A Barkley


Original Title used by CADDAC
The 30 Essential Ideas Every Parent Needs to Know (about ADHD) , by Dr. Russell Barkley

This is a video presentation that Dr. Barkley presented at CADDAC in 2009 [Original Video Link].  CADDAC stands for Centre for ADHD Canada.  More info about the video and the presentation as a whole below the video links.

Note this long video (2 hours 51 minutes 44 seconds) was broken up by me into 27 manageable parts with an average length of 6 to 7 minutes to make it far easier to watch and keep track of where you are.  To take a saying from Barkley later Small Chunks, Frequent Breaks.

In my opinion this is Barkley's Magnum Opus, his best work and it should be the part everyone who wants to learn more about ADHD from this expert should start with.
