Starting new medication
My husband and I are parents to a 7 year old boy named Dean and 10 year old girl called Danni. Dean has been having issues at school since starting kindergarten and things have been getting progressively worse. We have struggled at home with Dean because of his aggression and constant arguments about not doing what he is asked.

Understanding Sensory Needs, a teacher’s perspective
I’m a kindergarten teacher in a public school. I have a 6-year-old boy in my class who is undiagnosed, but his parents suspect he has ADHD. This student, let’s call him Tom, was regularly physically reactive to peers, and I needed to help him and keep the rest of the class safe.

Not able to keep on track of everything + understanding what impacts child
I’m a single mother to three kids. My youngest is autistic and has ADHD. I also have ADHD, three kids and a job that carries a lot of pressure. I was struggling to keep up with the “homework” my child’s OT assigned me and remembering to give my child their medication on time.
