Welcome to The Intensive For Parents of Children with ADHD

This will be a three-day intensive which is designed for parents who are interested in learning more about the ways that their child’s ADHD is impacting their lives and get strategies for how to help them.

Let’s be honest for a moment, parenting is already a challenge, right?  However,  parenting children with ADHD has its own complexities.  Join us on the following Thursdays, 10/3/2024, 10/10/2024 and 10/17/2024 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM to learn about ADHD and get real life tools to use to improve your relationship with your child and help them to become more successful.

“I attended the ADHD Intensive in the Spring of this year and am so glad I did. I have 3 children with ADHD and also have ADHD myself. Through the intensive I learned so much about myself and my children, what motivates them, and how to help them learn about themselves. The information that was provided was easy to implement immediately and I saw great results, especially with the rewards system that was discussed. The intensive provided me with a better understanding of how my children’s brains work and exactly how to help them harness their individual “super powers” that come with their ADHD. All 3 of my children have different aspects of ADHD and how it affects their function, so through the intensive I learned different methods and practices that I could use with each of them. I would recommend this intensive to anyone who has a child or even grandchild with ADHD so that you can best learn how to help them navigate and use their abilities.”
