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

I'm Wayne Callen and you're listening to another Attitude ADHD

experts webinar. Today's webinar is devoted to the many parents looking to

improve their child's ability to communicate with their peers, coaches, parents, everyone, frankly.

Social skills improvement is high on the list of many parents wishes for their kids.

The problem is few of us know how to help our kids become better conversationalists.

As you will find out though, being able to master the give and take of conversation is key to academic success.

Core standards expect kids to be able to do collaborative work and conversation is key to working

together successfully.

Our expert today, Anna Wegan, will give parents and teachers tips and strategies

for helping kids sharpen and support their social thinking.

She has a private practice in Marin County, California,

consults with parents and schools in developing plans for improving

social cognition, and speaks about the topic in the US in Canada.

She's the author of movie time social learning

and you cue feelings,

online video viewing for social learning.

Also today's sponsor of this week's attitude webinar is play attention.

Play attention is the only brain training system that combines both advanced neurofeedback

and cognitive training to effectively improve attention,

processing, behavior, and learning skills in children and adults with ADHD.

Improvement in these areas can help you or your child develop better communication skills.
