Join Tracy as she welcomes her guest Laurie Harwood Peterson to Episode #61 of her podcast, ADHD for Smart Ass Women. Laurie is the owner and director of Diagnostic Learning Services. Alongside her husband, Laurie runs five offices across Texas, specializing in ADHD and learning challenges in children. She spends every day helping kids get identified and teaching parents how to support them. Laurie holds a bachelor’s degree in Special Education and spent eight years teaching students with learning disabilities in grades K-12. She also has two Master’s Degrees—one in Special Education with an emphasis on assessment and the other in Professional Counseling.
Laurie is also the mother of two boys. In this episode, you’ll learn about: the circumstances surrounding Laurie’s ADHD diagnosis, her symptoms in childhood, how she got into diagnostic testing, the difference between neuropsychological testing and diagnostic testing, where diagnostic testing fits into the ADHD picture, signs parents should look for when considering diagnostic testing for their children, the cost of diagnostic testing, how testing for giftedness and ADHD differs from standard ADHD testing, how Laurie’s ADHD makes her better at what she does, what Laurie believes is the key to living successfully with ADHD, and her number one ADHD workaround.
