What is ADHD, and what are the signs to look for?
What are the best ways I can support my child with ADHD, and when should I consider medications?
When would it be helpful to get my child assessed?
What are the strengths that ADHD brings out in my child, and how do we nurture that?
How can we best support our child, especially in the home and school environments?
Come out and join us for a night with delicious food and great company!
