EPISODE #122: ADHD Evaluations: More Prep, Less Stress!
The Childhood Collective
8/16/2023
SUMMARY
Before any family vacation or road trip with kids, we know that a little prep can make the trip a lot more manageable with a lot less stress and frustration. Whether it’s leveraging their favorite snack or having enough downloaded episodes of Bluey, kids need tools for the experience. The journey of the ADHD evaluation process is no different. In this episode, we share how a little preparation will ease any stress you or your child might have about the process AND give you confidence in the results that you get.
We are answering your burning questions we hear all the time. From, "Should I give my child their ADHD medication on the day of the evaluation?" to, "How do I explain an evaluation to my child?" we have got you covered!
