I received an email recently about an ADHD seminar for parents from a counseling agency in Burlington and thought I'd post the information in case it would be of interest or benefit to anyone in our community. The following is the content of the email I received:

Help take the frustration out of parenting and out of your child!

Parents who attend this seminar will learn:

- What is ADHD
- Understanding medication and non-medication treatment approaches
- How to effectively parent a child with ADHD
- Ways to help your child to become calm, engaged and focused
- Strategies that work to overcome the difficult behavious of ADHD
- Ways to teach kids to manage their ADHD
- How children with ADHD learn
- Effective teaching strategies for children with ADHD to help with homework
time

There will also be a time for parents to ask their “tough questions”!

These are “must knows” for every parent with a child with ADHD.

This seminar is led by Therapist Meghan Lederman, B.C.W. (Youth Work),
C.Y.C. (Cert.)

Meghan specializes in: Child and Adolescent Behaviour Problems, Child and
Adolescent Mood and Anxiety Disorders, School Issues, Developmental/Learning
Disabilities
