Episode Brief: 
Did you know that girls are underdiagnosed when it comes to ADHD? Today we dive into what ADHD is, what it looks like in girls, and how you as parents and professionals can provide better support at home and in the classroom. Make sure to listen to the amazing suggestions and strategies we highlight for advocating for testing and the path parents can follow to seek a diagnosis.

🔑 Key Takeaways:
Be Patient and Focus On Data:
  • Start With The Pediatrician: If you notice some concerning behavior, start with your Pediatrician to begin testing for ADHD.
  • ADHD Isn’t All Hyper Behavior: Girls especially can experience the harder to see type of ADHD and it is important to pick up on these not so obvious signs.
  • Accommodations Are Available: From extra time to preferential seating, we all need to make sure that accommodations are unique to every student. Try asking your child what works and what doesn't.
