SUMMARY

Today, we are tackling YOUR questions about navigating school dynamics for a child with ADHD. From understanding school avoidance, to helping the teacher understand your child, to working with the school when your child is getting removed from the classroom, this episode is packed with practical advice and real-world examples. Have more questions about ADHD and school? Send us a message, and we’ll include them in future episodes!

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.
