Speaker: Erin Powers, Educational Therapist

When we ask our kids to “pay attention” or “focus” what exactly are we asking them to do? How do our expectations of children’s attention match their individual personalities and learning styles? You will learn how to understand the neurodevelopmental underpinnings of attention, identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses within the area of attention, have a basic understanding of the defining criteria for ADHD, identify red flags in your child and help decide if evaluation is required.
