About the Program
This two-session parent group is designed for families raising children and teens with ADHD. ADHD is more than inattention, low motivation, or impulsivity—it reflects challenges in the development of executive functioning skills. This series helps parents better understand these challenges and provides practical tools to support their child’s growth.
Each session includes a 40-minute presentation (with some video content), followed by a guided Q&A discussion tailored to the needs of participating families. The goal is to create both an informative and supportive environment for parents navigating similar experiences.
Topics Covered

The nature of ADHD: underlying deficits and developmental expectations
Executive functioning skills and how they are impacted
The critical role of parent mindset in supporting development
Practical strategies to help children build executive functioning skills

Session Details
Each session runs approximately 60–75 minutes and includes time for group discussion and questions.
Facilitator: Lenore Melmeyer, Ph.D.
Join us for this engaging and supportive experience—whether attending in person or online—to empower your parenting journey.
