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

Hello everyone. I'm my name is Annie Rogers and on behalf of the attitude team, I'm pleased to welcome you to today's ADHD Experts presentation titled Meet the Teacher.

How to build relationships this back to school season. With each new school year comes the same shared goal to foster an effective learning environment for students for students with ADHD, this may mean understanding and accommodating neuro divergent learning styles, emphasizing strengths and exploring interests, all of which requires open communication between caregivers and teachers.

In today's webinar, parents and teachers will learn how what and when to communicate for a calm and successful new school year.

We will discuss tools and tips for collaborating in person and via targeted emails to decode and support a student's needs.
