Episode Description

If your child struggled in school last year, you may feel equal parts anxious and determined about beginning a new grade with new challenges and new teachers. You want to do everything in your power to set up your student for success. But what does that look like, exactly? Having lived (and overcome) this challenge with her son over 12 academic years, Chris Dendy, M.S. — a former teacher and the author of several top books on teens and ADHD — has devised a back-to-school game plan full of insightful advice and lessons learned.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  1. Create a unique back-to-school plan to meet your child’s specific needs
  2. Understand ADHD’s manifestations in the classroom, and find ways to address it
  3. Educate yourself, your child, and the teacher about ADHD
  4. Identify how key intervention points — late spring, before school, and after school — can improve your child’s chances of success
  5. Establish routines at home that will maximize your child’s chances of school success
  6. Write a brief positive introductory letter about your child that help a new teacher appreciate his or her abilities and personality
