Larry A. Jones, MD, MBA, AACC
Pediatrician, ADHD & Life Coach, Author and Presenter

Known as Dr. Larry, he is an inspirational coach for parents, children, adolescents, and adults, who supports and encourages his clients to succeed by helping them to acknowledge and appreciate their talents and gifts, which in many cases have not been acknowledged.

Dr. Larry A. Jones is a retired pediatrician trained at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD and Washington University in St. Louis, MO. After his postgraduate education, Dr. Jones remained in St. Louis where he opened a general pediatrics practice including a specialty in children’s learning disabilities, namely, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

Dr. Jones served as the chief administrator for childhood lead poisoning and all child and maternal health activities for the St. Louis Department of Health. Most notably, he coordinated the treatments for childhood lead poisoning, a known cause of childhood ADHD. He coordinated all the lead remediation efforts for St. Louis, including St Louis Building Division, the health department and the Urban League, while reporting lead test results to the state, hospitals and insurance plans to assure appropriate follow up of lead affected children.

Upon leaving his practice after 25 years, Dr. Jones has been a child advocate, using his platform to engage parents and educators in better communication and closer collaboration. This passion culminated in co-authoring Falling Through the Ceiling; Our ADHD Family Memoir with his wife Audrey Jones, about the challenges of raising their three ADHD sons in the 1980’s and 90’s. Written to guide parents and educators through the trials of ADHD childhood and adolescence, the book provides amusing stories to encourage and support parents through this period.

As an ADHD and Life Coach he uses his extensive lived and professional experience to support individuals with ADHD and other neurodiversities. As the founder of TASTE of Success Coaching, Turning ADHD from Stigma to Stability is his mission.

He was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from CHADD (Children and Adult ADD Association) in 2022. Dr. Jones was honored for his tremendous impact on raising such awareness of ADHD in minority communities. “The stereotypes of ADHD,” he says, “have been particularly daunting for children of color in public and private educational spaces, requiring the constant diligence of parents to prevent inappropriate treatment and mislabeling.”

5 Ways to Overcome the Wall of Awful eBook

Everyone fails. Some, like those with executive function challenges, fail more than others.

Each failure brings negative emotions – guilt, disappointment. These smaller emotions become stronger feelings of anxiety, shame and even loneliness if one is repeatedly rejected because of their errors. Each time these negative emotions are experienced, another brick is placed into that person’s Wall of Awful.

The Wall of Awful is the emotional barrier that prevents us from initiating tasks and taking the risks necessary for us to reach our goals. It is the emotional consequence of having ADHD and it must be understood to be overcome.

You might get the run-around.  If you’re lucky, you get a diagnosis. A real diagnosis. But what about treatment?

Turns out, if you want treatment, you need to see someone else. Back to the doctor, who still doesn’t know anything about ADHD, or to a psychiatrist, for medication?

And they can’t really help you cope with your ADHD. You’ve heard “pills don’t teach skills”, but where do you get those? So, you need a coach. Or a therapist. Or both!

Do you give up, like, why bother? Or… what other choice is there?

Decoding Doing – ADHD Solutions for procrastination

This book offers an explanation of procrastination in the context of ADHD. Procrastination happens when we know we should do something for our benefit but actively avoid or delay doing it. At that moment, the focus is on not doing something rather than figuring out what is getting in the way. It is frustrating and risky, and it has the potential to impact our lives. It can result in failed studies, lost jobs, broken relationships, missed opportunities, and a belief in inevitable failure.

By creating a model for what happens when we act to support our intentions, we are able to decode and address procrastination—and, even better, to understand how to avoid it. We call this model the CIMAA Code. CIMAA is an acronym for the five stages of task achievement in our model: connect, imagine, motivate, act, and achieve.

Decoding Doing – The Online Program

Procrastination is a common occurrence. For those of us with ADHD it can happen far too often, leaving a sense of shame and failure. Most frustratingly, it feels beyond our control as we chase elusive motivation. Redefining Motivation

The motivation generally experienced for people with ADHD is usually quite different from that of people without ADHD. Creating the drive to do

With ADHD, we usually think the motivation needs to arrive at chance. However we can choose to create a low effort, sustainable motivation when we know how. Understanding how we work

These differences in doing are the result of ADHD. We need to understand not only our ADHD and how it impacts us. Then how it impacts reliable doing! Creating the steps to achieve … with support

By learning a structure to support the organization of doing, we can reliably achieve. We just need a way to organize our attention and feelings (motivation).

This negative focus intensifies anxiety, exacerbating ADHD challenges and fostering a cycle of ruminative thinking that makes it challenging to break free from negative thought loops. Consequently, it hampers the ability to appreciate and embrace the positive aspects of life.

This persistent negative bias creates a neurological imbalance, making it tough to regulate emotions and effectively utilize essential Executive Functions in various life domains such as work, relationships, and decision-making.

The good news is that the brain possesses neuroplasticity—a remarkable capacity to adapt and rewire itself. By consciously directing focus and mental activity, you have the power to reshape the architecture of your brain over time. What you choose to focus on becomes amplified.

David Giwerc, Founder/President of the ADD Coach Academy and a Master Certified ADHD Coach (MCAC), offers a transformative blueprint for your ADHD brain. Drawing from over two decades of coaching experience, he empowers you to explore your latent abilities that have remained hidden within your subconscious.

During this session, you will:

• Differentiate Performance Strengths from Character Strengths: Learn why character strengths serve as crucial motivational sources.
• Engage with Research-Backed Strategies: Discover effective strategies to overcome rumination and pave the way for illumination.
• Apply Coaching Exercises: Learn practical techniques to redirect negative thinking patterns and access positive emotions.

This book offers an explanation of procrastination in the context of ADHD. Procrastination happens when we know we should do something for our benefit but actively avoid or delay doing it. At that moment, the focus is on not doing something rather than figuring out what is getting in the way. It is frustrating and risky, and it has the potential to impact our lives. It can result in failed studies, lost jobs, broken relationships, missed opportunities, and a belief in inevitable failure.

By creating a model for what happens when we act to support our intentions, we are able to decode and address procrastination—and, even better, to understand how to avoid it. We call this model the CIMAA Code. CIMAA is an acronym for the five stages of task achievement in our model: connect, imagine, motivate, act, and achieve.

Linda’s Workshop

Menopause (Peri & Post) for ADHD
You know all those awful menopause jokes: “Is it hot in here or is it just me?” or “Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most.”
But when you are the owner of an ADHD brain, menopause, perimenopause and postmenopause are truly not laughing matters.
Does ADHD get “worse” with age? It sure does when your estrogen starts bouncing around like a pogo stick and eventually drifts into oblivion. But WHY does the ADHD brain often suffer more during this time of life? Great question – we’ve got answers!

This presentation examines those conditions in which people with ADHD can do anything and applies them to every day life. The presentation conceptualizes ADHD not as a disorder but rather as a 2nd type of nervous system that works perfectly well but only by its own set of rules, methods and techniques. Neurotypical techniques based on importance and rewards have been shown to work very poorly if at all. The presentations likens this as having been given the wrong “owners manual” for your ADHD nervous system back in childhood. It then presents ways in which to start the lifelong process of writing a personal ADHD owner’s manual of things that get you in the Zone and able to do anything./.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the flaws that led to failure of previous therapeutic attempts
• Learn the 5 ways in which people with an ADHD nervous system get access to their abilities and strengths ON DEMAND as the situation requires

The post Webinar Recording: Crushing Procrastination: Surprising Science and Simple Solutions with Alan P Brown appeared first on ADDA - Attention Deficit Disorder Association.

For example, in procrastination, there is a high correlation between uncertainty and avoidance. If something is ambiguous, then working in sprints or using a reward system won’t solve for the underlying fact that you are not clear on what to do. Focusing on solving the ambiguity is the path forward. Calling yourself a procrastinator is simply shaming yourself. You can’t manage ADHD through the lens of shame or blame.

In this webinar we’ll study Dr Russell Barkley’s executive function construct to reveal multiple life-changing insights like:

• Task Darwinism that explains why you don’t always do what is important
• The challenge of surrendering yourself to sleep.
• How your feelings often deceive you.
• Realizing that organization is a two-step process and most skip step one.
• Why chunking things down often doesn’t work, which is contradictory to what the Internet says.

Learning Objectives:

• To gain a working knowledge of Dr. Barkley’s executive function construct.
• To understand the impact of emotional self-regulation and thinking.
• To learn how behavior is a symptom of cognitive behavior driven by executive function impairment.

The concepts and questions you’ll be invited to entertain during this workshop are simple at face value. For those willing to reflect and feel more deeply, nuanced complexity is but a scratch below the surface. Just the paradox our neurodivergent brains love!

Come with pen & paper to explore some possibilities (or to doodle if that’s a way your brain gets engaged!) This will be more of a workshop-style presentation, with opportunities for participants to play along. You are encouraged to give yourself this hour to make space for wondering, dreaming, and discovering.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify signs of being in optimal states for health, growth, and restoration, and try out a couple of basic strategies for fostering those states within yourself.
• Recognize the importance of understanding the context of YOUR situation. Explore questions to help identify YOUR solid ground from which you can begin to use your curiosity as a springboard for thriving rather than surviving.
• Invite, in a playful, no-consequences way, an exploration of expanding options; to consider what else might be possible for you. Discover some starting points from which to begin to break the hold that “shoulds” have on your daily life.

But what happens if the disability is a mental health or neurodivergent condition, such as ADHD and the candidate or employee does not tell their employer?

What happens if the candidate or employee does not know they have ADHD?

What if the candidate or employee knows they have ADHD but does not consider it to be a disability as far as their work is concerned?

Most adults with ADHD do not disclose their condition to their employer because they either fear discrimination and judgement or because they do not believe it affects their work performance and so they should not have to disclose their own personal medical information. And who can blame them?

Much of the current advice provided to adults with ADHD in relation to telling their employer is:
1) Here are some tips and tricks about how you can perform effectively at work; and
2) Here are the pros and cons of disclosing to your employer. But think carefully about it. It’s probably best not to if you think you don’t think your employer will be accomodating.

In this webinar, we will explore some of the barriers to disclosure, the problems that non-disclosure can cause for both the worker and the employer, and introduce the Neurodiverse Safe Work Initiative, which has been established to make workplaces safe, healthy and inclusive for neurodiverse workers.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn about “The Vicious Cycle of Non- Disclosure” and why it’s a problem for adults with ADHD and their employers
• Learn why reasonable adjustments like noise-cancelling headphones may not go far enough to ensure worker safety
• Learn two approaches employers can adopt to create work that is safe, healthy and inclusive for everyone, even their ADHD workers who may not need noise cancelling headphones!

But this is literally The End. The end of a year. The end of a month. The end of a season. For some of us, perhaps the end of a job, a marriage, an attitude.

Tonight, we’ll take a look at the small picture: how and when ADHD permits us (or forces us) to declare “Done!” And then we’ll back up to the mid-view picture – how our ADHD brains hold the events of the past five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred minutes and to what we anticipate for the next 525,600. And finally, we’ll take the 10,000-foot view of the real honest-to-goodness end: our own mortality, and how our life values set the stage for all the decisions that flow from them.

Not a light and breezy webinar, but a thought provoking journey into how not only our ADHD accents our uniqueness, but so do our choices, our approach to life (and ADHD) and our declarations of intent for 2022.
