Parent's Group
Parenting is hard. Parenting kids with ADHD adds additional challenges. We're here to help.
Our Parent’s group alternates between meeting online only and meeting both online and at Horizon Academy. All events are open to the public and free. Speakers are local professional volunteers or nationally known experts and vary monthly.
May 7th at 7 PM ONLINE
It is often said that if you have seen one person with ADHD, you have seen one person with ADHD. Yet, too frequently, people with ADHD seem to believe that others' ADHD impacts them in the same way. Some firmly believe ADHD is a disability, while others argue it is merely a difference, and still others are adamant that it is a superpower.
This presentation demonstrates how and why ADHD is very individual from the moment of birth onward. Case examples of two boys and two girls with ADHD will be highlighted, demonstrating how different their lives are, even though they each have a diagnosis of ADHD.
"The ADHD Game of Life" with Cynthia Hammer, MSW, author of Living with Inattentive ADHD, is appropriate for parents of kids with ADHD, adults with ADHD, teachers, and anyone else wanting to a better understanding of inattentive ADHD.
👥 This presentation will explore and discuss
1️⃣ The number and severity of ADHD symptoms and whether they are primarily inattentive or combined
2️⃣ The number of co-occurring conditions, including other mental health issues, physical health problems and learning disorders
3️⃣ The positive and negative environmental, social, psychological and economic factors and their impact on a person's expression of ADHD
4️⃣ The benefit of an ADHD diagnosis by age eight and a discussion of the elements that enhance the value of an early diagnosis
5️⃣ A reminder that "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start now to change the ending."
🔍 Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from Cynthia Hammer drawing from her extensive social work background and over thirty years of expertise in ADHD.
