Wondering how to help your child understand what ADHD is?
TEACH ME ADHD is an 8-week class series for children with ADHD and their parent to take together!
Available class formats: Virtual or In Person (select cities)
Children MUST have a diagnosis of ADHD, be 8-12 years of age and have a parent or other caregiver willing to take the course with them.
TEACH ME ADHD is a fun, interactive, and educational course created by Behavioral Pediatrician Dr. Nerissa Bauer, designed for children with ADHD and their parents.
This 8-week course includes either weekly 75-minute meetings (either on zoom or in person), video resources, and a supportive community on Facebook of other families walking in your shoes.
Families who enroll in this course will become JR and SR detectives and participate in 8 training mission meetings. Each meeting will focus on a different topic related to ADHD. Be ready to learn new skills and participate, the classes are interactive and fun!
Each meeting builds on each other so attendance at all meetings are recommended. If you have to miss, you will have access to the official video supplement that you can use to catch up or re-watch to reinforce concepts.

It was fantastic for our family. My son is 10 years old and has struggled with ADHD. Learning more about it and embracing it has empowered him! The class was well organized, entertaining and easy to follow both for kids and parents without being overwhelming. We were provided with many different tools and ideas that were through provoking and helped both us as parents and our child learn valuable tools on how to manage our lives around this. My absolute favorite thing about this class is that it helped build my son's confidence, seeing other kids with similar struggles and that he is amazing the way he is, but we are different and can improve on our life skills! My husband and I both learned a lot about the science of ADHD which helped us parent better and build a stronger relationship with our son. The time we took for this class was well worth it! Dr. Bauer is compassionate and great with children. We look forward to working more with her in the future!

My son and I just completed Dr. Bauer's online class (TEACH ME ADHD). I am so glad we took this class! It was very well thought out and executed! I saw improved behaviors and I noticed he is now more aware of his struggles with ADHD. Not only is he more aware but he has also started implementing strategies that were taught in this class to overcome these struggles! I would highly recommend this class! A lot of people are struggling with mental health issues during this global pandemic...Dr. Bauer does an amazing job offering this class in a virtual format! Highly recommend!
