Trying to find a suitable doctor for your child with ADHD can be challenging. The key to a successful search is knowing as much as possible about ADHD, your child’s struggles, and the right questions to ask the potential provider. In fact, knowing the right questions to ask can make a big difference in the way you manage your child’s ADHD. In this role-playing episode featuring Dr. Maggie Sibley and Jami Demuth, you’ll hear how one parent interviewed a psychologist before she made her selection and scheduled her child’s first appointment.

If you have a child or know a child who shows signs of dyslexia or signs of learning difficulties, then you'll want to hear this special interview with a local Director of Learning RX, a brain training center.  This is the place where we found a solution for our son who struggled with reading.
