This channel is dedicated to disseminating the science about ADHD. It is based on Dr. Barkley's 45 years of clinical practice, research, and teaching and his many books and scientific papers. In 2023, he was named by Research.com as the 37th most influential researcher in the US and 65th in the world in terms of the impact of his research on psychological science as attested to by how often his research is cited by others. He has recently retired. In anticipation of his retirement, he has created videos of more than 30 hours of his lectures that have been posted here for laypeople and professionals alike. Although the initial videos posted here are in their original length as given at conferences, most videos have now been broken down into shorter segments, numbered sequentially, and organized into playlists for ease of viewing.

Video Description
Here I discuss the important notion that ADHD is not a disorder of knowledge and knowing what to do, but one of performance and doing what you know, when and where it would be effective to do so. That when and where I call the “point of performance.” This video reviews why this problem arises in ADHD, what it means for understanding ADHD, and its implications for trying to manage the performance problems posed by ADHD. More information about this concept can be found in my lectures on executive functioning and ADHD as well as in my latest books below: Taking Charge of ADHD: The Complete Authoritative Guide for Parents (4th ed.) published in June 2020) 12 Principles for Raising a Child with ADHD (published in October 2020) Taking Charge of Adult ADHD (4th ed.) (Published October 2021) Treating ADHD in Children and Adolescents: What Every Clinician Needs to Know. (Published May 2022)
