Documentary: Kids on Speed?

KIDS ON SPEED? is a hybrid of observational documentary, factual intervention and social experiment. Working together for the first time, a team of experts, led by dynamic Clinical Psychologist Professor Mark Dadds, put 4 families with 5 children suspected of having ADHD, through a cutting edge evidence based 9-week intervention program. The stakes are high. The families are at the end of their tethers having been everywhere for help to no avail and the experts are putting their reputations on the line, as they seek a new treatment gold standard for one of the most stigmatized, misunderstood and misdiagnosed disorders affecting children today Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

The first of the three episodes was aired on ABC1 last Thursday night.  But don't fear, you are able to watch the episode through ABC iview for the next 12 days.  Each episode runs for about 57 minutes.

The second epsode is airing on ABC1 this Thursday night (13 February 2014) at 8.30pm and the last the Thursday after that.

Well worth the time to watch.  Thank you to Shayne from Horsham/Wimmera CRT Network for letting us know about this documentary.
