Please join us for the ADHD Parent Panel on Thursday, April 10 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the elementary library.
Come join us in an informal conversation about ADHD. Is ADHD having a large impact on the your daily life and your family? How do families cope? What works well; what doesn’t?

Feel free to join us for the first time or come to join us again to continue the conversation.
