Another school year is fast approaching, and you may wonder how you can help your students have a smooth start. This school year will be different because many students will return to in-person learning, and that may take a little getting used to. For some, remote learning has taken an emotional, mental, and developmental toll. Many children have fallen behind in their studies, missed out on milestones, and suffered from a lack of peer interaction that helps develop crucial social skills. They may be dealing with anxiety and for children with ADHD, the adjustment period may take longer, so knowing how to help is critical.

This is a live webinar where attendees will hear from Dr. Gallagher and then participants can ask questions after his presentation.

Learning Objectives

Following this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Explain how to help children with ADHD reduce the anxiety and other related challenges that they may have when the school year starts.
