🌟Advocating With ADHD: Speaking Up for Your Needs
ADHDKC Adults’ Group – January Meetup
Quick Details
🗓 Sunday, January 4th | 2:00–4:00 PM
📍 Lenexa City Center Library, 8778 Penrose Ln, Lenexa, KS 66219
As always, ADHDKC Adult Group meetings are open, free, and designed for sharing, learning, and connecting with others who truly get it.
Seats are limited. RSVP is required.
Advocating for yourself can feel overwhelming — even more so when ADHD makes communication, planning, or emotional regulation a challenge. This month, we’re diving into the real-life skills that help adults confidently express their needs, ask for ADHD-friendly accommodations, and navigate conversations at work, at school, and in relationships.
We’ll talk about:
✨ What accommodations look like in everyday adult life
✨ How to explain ADHD-related challenges without over-sharing
✨ Scripts and strategies for asking for what you need
✨ How to handle pushback or confusion from others
✨ Setting boundaries and speaking up with confidence
✨ Real-world examples from work, home, and community settings
💬 Group Discussion
After a short introduction about accommodations, moderators Nic and Abby will guide an open, supportive conversation. This is your chance to:
Share your experiences
Hear how others are navigating similar challenges
Brainstorm real solutions together
Leave with practical strategies you can use immediately
👥 Who Should Attend?
Adults with ADHD, as well as partners, family members, and supporters who want to better understand accommodations and advocacy, are all welcome.

We’re here to share personal stories and strategies, not to provide treatment recommendations.
