ADHD Skill Building Groups

Our ADHD Skill-Building Groups are evidence-informed, structured programs designed to help children and teens with ADHD develop practical, evidence-informed skills to better manage attention, emotions, organization, and daily demands, at home and at school.

These groups combine engaging lessons, explicit teaching, hands-on activities, movement, discussion, and guided practice to help participants better understand how ADHD affects their brain and daily functioning, while building strategies they can use right away.
