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

Hey everyone, it's Susan Coffin and you are listening to Attitude magazine's ADHD experts audio.

Today we are talking about what's ahead for parents once school starts after this long and glorious summer and that is the

dreaded homework hours. Almost universally our readers and our listeners tell us

about their children students who forget to write down assignments who lose their homework sheets and frankly about their struggles to manage the homework hours while also dealing with making dinner managing other activities. It's pretty much something that's really tough

for everybody. Today we are so pleased to welcome back our guest speaker, Dr. Peg

Dawson, who will be offering some straightforward advice and steps to take in order

to end this frustration and fights over getting homework done.

For those of you who may not have the privilege of listening to Dr Dawson before, She is just a font of knowledge because she is

someone who's worked with children for over 30 years.

First, as a school psychologist in Maine and New Hampshire,

and for the last 20 years at the Center for Learning and

Attention Disorders in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where she specializes in the

assessment of both children and adults with learning and attention

disorders. She received her doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Virginia and is the co-author of two really really terrific books that I recommend to you on improving executive function skills called the first one's called smart but

scattered and the follow-up was called smart but scattered teens. Thank you so

much for joining us today Dr Dawson. We're always happy to have you. I would also like to thank the sponsor of

today's webinar play attention. Play attention is a brain training system is the

only one that combines both neurofeedback and cognitive training

to improve attention, behavior, and learning skills

in both children and adults with ADHD.
