Monthly Meeting for Parents of Children with ADHD- When children are diagnosed with ADHD, a recommendation to engage in parent coaching or parent behavior management training is often provided. In this session, Dr. Sidol will discuss what parent coaching is and why it is necessary to improve symptoms of ADHD. Additionally, parents will learn basic behavioral principles to set their child up for success.

Sleep disturbances affect up to 70% of children with ADHD, often exacerbating core symptoms and impacting overall development. These sleep problems can manifest as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and achieving restorative sleep cycles essential for cognitive function. Join Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown as she shares evidence-based approaches to identifying and addressing sleep challenges in children with ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions. You'll learn practical strategies for improving sleep hygiene, managing medication effects on sleep, and creating individualized sleep plans that accommodate sensory needs and behavioral considerations unique to neurodiverse children.

Come listen and chat with couples where one or both partners have ADHD. Learn strategies to improve communication and follow-through in your relationship.

Get ready to celebrate, Philadelphia CHADD! We’re thrilled to announce an in-person event before the summer break, and we can’t wait to see all of you (kids and teens, too). Join us in The Garden at CHOP’s Karabots Center on Saturday, June 28th, from 2-4 PM for an afternoon filled with laughter, joy, and connection. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet face-to-face after a year of fantastic programming and to strengthen the bonds within our amazing community. Don’t worry if the weather doesn’t cooperate; we’ll simply move the fun indoors to the conference room! We’ll have soft pretzels, drinks, card games, karaoke (depending on our noise restrictions), and more for everyone to enjoy, but feel free to bring along some packaged, nut-free snacks to share. Let’s come together to celebrate our shared experiences and the wonderful spirit of Philadelphia CHADD!
