#122: ADHD Evaluations: More Prep, Less Stress!

Listen on…

SUMMARY

Before any family vacation or road trip with kids, we know that a little prep can make the trip much more manageable with less stress and frustration. Whether it’s leveraging their favorite snack or having enough downloaded episodes of Bluey, kids need tools for the experience. The journey of ADHD evaluations can feel like a big process as well. In this episode, we share how a little preparation will ease any stress you or your child might have about the process AND give you confidence in the results that you get.

We are answering your burning questions we hear all the time. From “Should I give my child their ADHD medication on the day of the evaluation?” to “How do I explain ADHD evaluations to my child?” we have got you covered!
