"Education is the most
powerful weapon
which you can use
to change the world"
- Nelson Mandela
All programs target development of the key factors that research has determined to be the best predictors of future success.
These primary factors are:
1) relationships with peers and siblings
2) academic achievement and learning
3) parent interactions and compliance with adults.
These factors also happen to present the greatest challenges for ADHD children. It is critical that we as caregivers, educators, and parents are very deliberate and effective in helping them develop in these domains.
Program Development
