Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

What are the symptoms? How does it impact us? What interventions exist?

Join us for a discussion with Integrative Medicine Pediatrician Sanford Newmark and a Clinical Psychologist Kim Thompson who will discuss how ADD and ADHD shows up and how we can be supportive caregivers for our children.

This workshop is for parents and educators who are curious about this issue or may be managing this condition with their children or themselves.
