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

Welcome everyone.

My name is Annie Rogers, and on behalf of the attitude team, I'd like to thank you for

joining us for today's ADHD Experts Presentation titled, I Can't Focus when ADHD impacts your child's

math and writing performance. Math and writing are two academic subjects that require

extensive working memory, an executive function that we know is strained by ADHD. Students

challenges in math and writing largely multiplied during the pandemic thanks to virtual classes,

and now we're seeing that learning gaps have widened for many students. But rest assured,

there is plenty that parents and educators can do to help write the ship. In today's webinar,

we will learn strategies, study skills, and other techniques to improve your child's math

and writing performance, and boost their confidence around school.

Leading today's presentation is Andolan. Andolan is the president and founder of Educational

Connections, a company that specializes in helping students with ADHD and executive function

issues build confidence through virtual one-to-one sessions. And is a former public school

teacher who holds a bachelor's degree in child psychology and a master's in special education

from Boston College. And has spent more than 25 years on education, teaching and tutoring

students from kindergarten through college. She founded Educational Connections in 1998.

Her team now includes more than 100 highly credentialed and caring subject tutors, test prep tutors,

college consultants, and executive function coaches. Before I hand over the microphone to Anne,
