ABOUT THE CLASS
ADHD is the most frequently misunderstood, misdiagnosed
and mistreated psychiatric condition on the planet. Fresh neuroscience
data spells out measurable underlying factors that resolve the
paradox that too many simply aren't thinking about thinking.
Metacognition matters.
In the last 10 years, incredible neuroscientific evidence about
the communication networks between the brain, the endocrine
system and the immune system have encouraged a complete rethinking
of many psychiatric platitudes and inadequate labels currently
used for ADHD coaching and care giving.
These measurable biomedical data points, from functional brain
imaging to specific laboratory testing often dramatically improve
treatment outcomes, as previously limited ADHD targets change
from descriptive, static labels to dynamically driven functional
assessments.
During this course, each of these various data points will
be woven into the presentation so that even casual listeners
will receive valuable take-home lessons on immunity, endocrine
dysfunction and new neurotransmitter information that they can
use after every class.
Consider just this single question: How many consider the
physical metabolic body through which any meds must pass before
they reach the brain? Chuck can tell you based on thousands
of second opinions that the answer is, "Very few".
Yet from a common sense point of view we intuitively know
that the more we ignore those undeniable biomedical paths, the
more unpredictable the medical outcomes. New territories need
new maps, and these new maps will differentiate those who take
this course from those who simply don't know the new questions
to ask.
These informative ADHD assessment and treatment meetings will
help anyone at any level consider more comprehensive ADHD diagnostic
and treatment options for application anywhere in the world.
From drug interactions, to comorbid conditions, to breakfast
and sleep, to the commonplace challenges of adjusting medication
dosage, ADHD treatment challenges beg for practical, understandable
translation.
As a graduate of MCP2 with Ben (the second MentorCoach Foundations
Program), Chuck appreciates the value of team review, team understanding,
and team distance learning. His philosophy is simple: neuroscience
evidence will change your thinking about ADHD. And with the
informed use of the new mind-science and with your own informed
common sense, you will find straightforward ways to apply this
evidence in your own life and in the lives of others.
Every day, Chuck teaches these new-science approaches to medical
colleagues, coaches, consultants, the public, and to the clients
in his consulting rooms. As a writer [Deep
Recovery, ADHD
Medication Rules, The
CorePsych Blog], he has received feedback from thousands
of readers, and thousands of medical practitioners--a rare diversity
of input that differentiates Chuck's unique perspective, and
peppers his deep on-the-road experience with unlimited examples
of what-to-do-next. For Chuck, teaching is learning.
Let's work together to improve our success rate in helping
our brilliant, insightful ADHD clients bring their gifts to
the world. Join Chuck to become part of the mind change that
will be taking place too soon for the unprepared.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Week 1
If you don't know the targets, if you can't more
specifically identify the functional challenges associated with
ADHD, you can't see the improvement. This week covers the details
of the new brain science as it applies to pre-frontal cortical
function in the office. Without target recognition, medication
adjustment remains a mystery.
Week 2
The very next set of problems that must be addressed
are the metabolic variables, the biomedical details of the person's
rate of metabolism and possible conditions that could interfere
with medication accuracy. Fasten your seat belts.
Week 3
Mind data evolution, the new brain science, provides
even more common sense answers if only you know the other details
- measure and understand those other details that often interfere
with predictable outcomes. You don't have to have a medical degree
to get it. The public in our offices gets it every day, so professionals
at all levels can also sharpen their treatment insights. Be prepared
so your next client can have this information.
Week 4
Every day, with every med check, dosage and medication
titration prove absolutely necessary. This last meeting provides
the details of how you can take the first three meetings into
more specific applications with the DOE (Duration of Effectiveness)
and the nuances of the Therapeutic Window Changes. Each of our
class meetings will include metaphors you can use in your practice.
In this final class, you will also learn about chicken catching
as it applies to synaptic function.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
 Graduates
of this class will be able to earn four hours of CEUs for psychologists
(APA), social workers (NASW), licensed counselors (NBCC), and
Marriage and Family Therapists in California (BBS). Please note

Attendance Requirement for CEUs. Before
paying for CEUs, please note the attendance requirement! You must
be present--actually listening on the phone, real time--for all
four classes. To document their live attendance on each call,
students email in the class attendance codes (given at the start
and end of the class) within 24 hours of end of Chuck's lecture.
International Coach Federation. There will
also be 4 hours of coach continuing education credits for members
of the International Coach Federation. You do not need to pay
the CEU fee for coach continuing ed credits.
Certified Mentor Coach (CMC). The class
will also count toward MentorCoach and ICF Certification for MentorCoach
students. Again to qualify, you must be present ("live")

MORE ABOUT CHUCK
After spending my professional career working
with ADHD children and adults in my psychology and coaching practices,
teaching the ADHD Coaching classes at MentorCoach, and in presentations
internationally, I can tell you that Dr. Chuck Parker is the real
thing. Chuck is brilliant, unpretentious, cutting-edge, a gifted
teacher, deeply engaged in the field both with his own patients,
with the research, and in his keynotes and consultations to physicians
and professionals everywhere. I have worked with Chuck in the
past and I know this will be a great class. I'm taking it because
I want to hear the latest on ADHD medications from Chuck.
--Alan Graham, Ph.D., PCC, SCAC ADDvisor.com,
ACP Consultants
Board Member, Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC)
At the risk of sounding like a shill, let me begin with JUST
SIGN UP and BE THERE!
I am enthusiastically and unreservedly recommending Chuck's
classes as a multi-certified coaching/coach training pioneer working
with ADD since the mid-late 80's. I am the co-founder of the ADD
Coaching field, developer and deliverer of the world's first ADD-specific
Coach Training and 7 Global ADD Hours/support groups (including
the ADD Professionals Expert Speakers Series), and a bunch of
other firsts. I trained many of my colleagues who are now training
others. I am also the self-professed ADD Poster Girl, researching
with personal agenda.
In my opinion, CP's work is the FIRST (and, right now, ONLY)
look at Executive Functioning Dysregulation causes and interventions
through the lens of the body and realities of biology -- with
an eye on a multi-faceted compilation of his in-depth knowledge
of scientific findings from the fields of neurology, neuropsychology,
cell biology, psycho-pharmacology, patient care, and life success/motivational
strategies.
Don't let that scare you - he speaks in plain English, is
personable, warm and funny, VERY clear, and can answer questions
at all levels with brilliance, sensitivity and compassion. Whether
you are a coach, therapist, neuro-anything, medical doctor, or
ADDer who wants to know first-hand, you will be well-served in
this brief, virtual training. SIGN UP to BE there!
