Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hi everyone, good afternoon and welcome I'm Wayne Callin and you're listening to

Attitude magazine's weekly ADHD experts audio broadcast if you're parent of a child with ADHD, learning disabilities or autism spectrum

disorder, you know how important accommodations and services are to your child's success. You also know how complex and at times

downright difficult the process of acquiring those services can be. Many of us don't know the differences between IEPs and 504 plans.

Lots of us need advice making sure that we are maximizing the plans we set up for our kids and making sure that the plans are being

correctly implemented in the classroom. We all face those big challenges

starting on the first day of school. Today's topic will be of great interest to you as it is to me.

We will get an inside game plan that empowers us to use the right IEP 504 plan strategies for success at school. Today's webinar is brought to you by

play attention the only brain training system that combines advanced neurofeedback

and cognitive training to effectively improve attention, behavior, and cognitive skills in children and adults with ADHD.
