For parents of school aged children

When your child receives a diagnosis of ADHD, ASD, or other form of neurodiversity, it can be difficult to know if or how to share the information with them. Dr. Yael Rothman, author of the book Different Thinkers: ADHD, will explain why it is important for children to understand how their brain works and how they think and learn. In addition, strategies will be provided for how parents and caregivers can speak with their children about their diagnoses.

Light refreshments will be served.

Registration is online only and begins Monday, December 9 at 8am.
Registration is required.
Registrations will not be accepted via email.
