**Date & Time:** October 30, 2025 – 5:00 PM ET

**Guest Speaker:** *Cynthia Hammer, MSW, Founder of FINDtheADHDgirls.org*

While boys with ADHD often attract attention through hyperactive or disruptive behavior, many girls with ADHD fly under the radar — quiet, well-behaved, and often struggling silently. This session with Cynthia Hammer will explore how and why these girls are frequently overlooked, and what can be done to change that.

Cynthia will introduce **FINDtheADHDgirls.org**, a new online repository she developed to help professionals, educators, and parents identify and support these girls more effectively. Together, we’ll discuss the long-term effects of missed diagnoses and the ways we can better support women who were once those “invisible girls.”

### **Key Discussion Points**

* Why girls with ADHD are often underdiagnosed — and the role social expectations play.
* Common signs of ADHD in quiet or non-disruptive girls that often go unnoticed.
* The emotional toll of being misunderstood or unsupported in school years.
* How **FINDtheADHDgirls.org** helps educators, clinicians, and families recognize and assist these girls.
* The connection between missed childhood diagnoses and adult ADHD struggles.
* Practical steps adults can take to advocate for themselves and others.

Whether you’re a professional, parent, or adult with ADHD, this session is for you. Come, connect, learn, and share your experiences.
