ADHD - Diagnosis and how to move forward
6
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
In this session, Clinical Psychologist Dr Diana Goldsmith joins us to explore some of the most common challenges faced by teens with ADHD and what parents can do to help. We’ll cover how ADHD shows up differently in boys and girls, why school and school work can become challenging, and what lies behind low motivation (even for things they enjoy). We’ll also look at parenting strategies that work best and what the future can look like for ADHD teens in education, friendships, and life beyond school.
