SUMMARY

The holidays are here, and while they can be magical, they can also be a lot — especially for families navigating ADHD. We are sharing our Holiday Survival Guide: three things we WILL be doing and three things we WON’T be doing with our own families this year. From setting realistic expectations to getting holiday shopping done early, we’ve got practical tips to help your family thrive this season. So grab your coffee (or eggnog!), and let’s make this the most joyful, low-stress holiday yet!

MEET OUR TEAM

We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you. After working with families over a combined total of 40 years, we saw a need to provide ongoing support and education to parents raising children with ADHD.
