Children with ADD/ADHD often have difficulty with simple social interactions and struggle with low self-esteem. This impacts their peer relationships as well as their school performance.
I help children:
Learn strategies to promote school success such as managing distractions, increasing organization and time management, using memory cues, etc.
Gain greater awareness and regulation of their “internal and external” motor speed
Make new friends and maintain friendships
Develop greater emotional control
Learn to identify and interpret social cues, which are communicated by facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language
Learn social skills and social problem solving
I help parents:
Understand the challenges and the gifts that come with ADD/ADHD
Create family lifestyles that reduce ADD/ADHD symptoms
Resolve disagreements and not get into power struggles
Regain a sense of order and calmness within their family
Learn positive discipline strategies that work
Find new ways to connect with their children
Support their children academically both at home and within the school system
Feel empowered and equipped to meet the new phases of development their children are experiencing
