Gifted+ADHD (Virtual Parent Education Workshop)
GIFTED+ADHD (VIRTUAL PARENT EDUCATION WORKSHOP)
Tuesday, March 8, 2022
7:00 PM 8:00 PM
Midwest Academy for Gifted Education and the Chicago Gifted Community Center bring you a Free Gifted Parenting Education Series,. The idea is to bring together a parent of gifted child, a mental health professional, and a gifted educator, for different perspectives and ideas around solutions. For the privacy of our attendees, this workshop is not recorded.
This is an advanced ADHD+Gifted class and is most appropriate for those who already know that their child is diagnosed, has strong traits that match this and you are basically under the assumption that this is what it is based on traits and challenges. You may have gotten some rudimentary recommendations from the neuropsychologist but some of them are impossible either at school and or at home, or they plain don’t work. Let’s say you tried medication but it’s touch and go or didn’t even work, or doesn’t take care of everything. A magic pill isn’t for 100% of the cases. Now what? Time to find out exactly what is possible. A lot is possible! Do not give up! Help is here. Learn about how the brain learns differently and functions in ADHD as the most powerful intervention for many parents to learn about. Educators welcome (but there will be a special educator workshop soon).
