Did you know that symptoms of ADHD often emerge in preschool? Early and effective treatment can blunt the typical developmental progression seen with ADHD and mitigate the need for further intervention and a formal diagnosis. As a result, the preschool years represent a critical period for prevention. Please join us for this webinar with Courtney Zulauf-McCurdy, PhD. She will provide information on early identification and interventions for ADHD in preschool with a focus on how parents and teachers can work together to help young children at risk for ADHD succeed.
