This group aims to help parents understand ADHD and how it impacts their child’s functioning at home, in school, and with peers. Parents will learn specific skills and concrete tools to improve the quality of the parent/child relationship and their child’s functioning and behavior at home and at school. Each session will focus on learning a specific skill that will be reinforced through practice during the session.
