Find the Girls with ADHD! Tues May 5, 7:00 - 8:30pm
·OnlineOnlineFind the Girls with ADHD!
Girls are typically diagnosed with ADHD approximately 4–5 years later than boys, often not until age 12, compared to age 7 for boys. Girls with ADHD often slip through the cracks, especially in school settings because they mask so well and are so well behaved that even parents and teachers miss the signs. Since inattentive ADHD is predominantly seen in girls and women it’s an issue that leaves many undiagnosed.In this presentation Cynthia Hammer will provide information on how parents and teachers can identify possible ADHD in girls before age 8 and why it is important to find them as early as possible. She will discuss the harm that happens when girls go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed and why teachers, parents, and pediatricians can help change that trajectory.
Cynthia Hammer, MSW, was diagnosed with ADHD at age 49. She is the director of the non-profit, Inattentive ADHD Coalition (www.iadhd.org) and founder of the project to FINDtheADHDgirls.org. She believes that ADHD is a disability, but with knowledge, strategies, and determination we can transform our disability into a difference or even into something desirable.
Cynthia’s book, Living with Inattentive ADHD is available at Amazon or wherever you buy your books. All proceeds from this book go to the Inattentive ADHD Coalition.
