Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast series by Attitude Magazine.

Hello.

My name is Annie Rogers, and on behalf of the Attitude team, I'm so pleased to welcome you

to today's ADHD Experts presentation titled ADHD Ages and Stages Part One.

I'm in Challenges and Practical Strategies for Children with ADHD, and this will be the first

in our series of three webinars really examining how ADHD manifests across the lifespan.

It's very interesting about two weeks ago, the American Journal of Psychiatry published

a new study which showed that fully 90% of children with ADHD experience symptoms through

adulthood, which confirmed what many of us already know about the persistent and yet

shifting nature of ADHD.

So today we'll be talking about the developmental milestones specifically of childhood and how

ADHD impacts nearly all of them.

We will also be discussing practical strategies for caregivers and educators to employ in helping

children with ADHD, craft, and build the building blocks necessary for ongoing success.

And we are so pleased that leading today's webinar will be Meg Leahy, Meg Leahy, MSNCCBCC.

She's an award-winning therapist, coach, counselor, author, speaker, and mentor, also a great

friend of Attitude.

As the founder of Leahy Learning, Meg has provided the skills, understanding, and resources

to help people change their lives for more than 20 years.

She's an international ADHD strategist who has treated college students and adults in the

adult ADHD treatment and research program in the Department of Psychiatry at the University

of Pennsylvania.
