Episode Description

Unrelenting patterns of disorganization, procrastination, and late assignments wear down and discourage many parents of students with ADHD as the school year grinds on. But it doesn’t have to be this way! As we embark on a fresh new autumn, it’s important to recognize that these ADHD struggles bring with them opportunities for academic growth and positive transformation — and it’s all possible through the power of thoughtful systems. 

Join us for an insightful webinar with Ann Dolin, M.Ed., an experienced author, educator, advocate, and parent of kids with ADHD who brings a deep understanding of the unique challenges your child faces.

In this webinar, Ann will share her expert advice and practical strategies to support your child’s success and transform school-related stress into triumphs this school year. Participants will learn: 

  • What a system is and why sustainable systems are game changers for kids with ADHD
  • Uncover which type of procrastinator your child is, from crisis-maker to dreamer, and get personalized solutions for each procrastination style
  • How your child can effectively use a calendar system to combat procrastination and meet deadlines head-on
  • Strategies to help your student maintain order with easy-to-implement organizational routines, like the Clean Sweep and Launching Pad
  • Communication starters to develop a relationship of trust at the start of the school year and how to nurture it for a smooth academic journey
