Meghan Barlow, PhD, of Meghan Barlow and Associates will discuss how having a diagnosis is important because it will help determine what therapies to pursue and what services your child may need in school, but a diagnosis is only one part of your child and how all behavior cannot be attributed to a diagnosis.

She will discuss how sometimes parents need to take a step back and recognize that some behaviors are just "kids being kids." This presentation will help parents understand what is developmentally appropriate at each stage as a child grows and matures. Dr. Barlow will review typical pitfalls, common challenges and ways you can capitalize on your child's strengths to create more harmony between family members and a better fit between your child and his or her environment.
