Join Hower Kwon, MD, on Wednesday, October 18th from 7 to 8:30 p.m. to learn more about Autism and ADHD.
Dr. Kwon presents an informative program to discuss Autism and ADHD, conditions which can both be present in a child. Hower Kwon, MD, is the psychiatrist at his Bellevue Child Behavior Center. Dr. Kwon brings a wealth of experience both as an individual practitioner and a member of the UW Autism Center.
Many have asked for this program so Eastside CHADD is pleased to schedule this meeting so we can learn about these conditions to facilitate the treatment needed.
Autism spectrum disorder occurs in roughly 2% of school-age children, and ADHD affects about 7%. These conditions can also co-occur, making assessment and treatment more complicated. Dr. Kwon will discuss the challenges of assessment and treatment of children affected by both conditions.
Hower Kwon, MD, is a child and adolescent psychiatrist who has been practicing in the Seattle area since 2004. Since 2006, he has seen patients at his private practice in Bellevue. He is a member of the clinical faculty at UW and also an attending psychiatrist at the Seattle Children's Autism Center since it opened in 2009. He received his clinical training at UCLA, where he began pursuing his subspecialty in autism spectrum disorders. Subsequently, he pursued a postdoctoral research fellowship at Stanford.
