the Underlying Issues of AD/HD and
What to Do About Them:'
Designed for physicians, therapists,
educators, social workers, students,
adults with AD/HD and their family
members, the conference will cover
such topics as: "Cognitive Behavior

"We are pleased to be recognized as
Metro Detroit's premier conference on
AD/HD" said OCC Counselor Mary Jo
Schuster, one of the conference coor-
dinators."This year we have expanded
our presentations to 20 different sec-
tions by national and area experts on
every aspect of the impact of AD/HD
on individuals and their families",
Schuster noted.
This annual OCC event honors the
memory of the late Michael Golds
who struggled with AD/HD, was
academically successful for the first
time in his life upon enrolling at age
30 at Oakland Community College,
then graduated with honors from
Eastern Michigan University. He was
in his second year of graduate school
in Florida when he died in a tragic
accident.
His parents, Barbara Golds of West
Bloomfield and the late Jack Golds,
established a memorial fund at OCC
to help sponsor an annual symposium
to help others understand and better
cope with the impact of AD/HD on
their lives.
General admission for the confer-
ence includes lunch, and is $59 before
Sept. 15, or $75 at the door. Early reg-
istration guarantees a luncheon spot;
