As part of our Free Parenting Education Series co-sponsored and co-hosted by MAGE and Chicago Gifted Community Center, CGCC, we had a virtual workshop this summer to finish our 10-workshop series on Gifted and ADHD.
Click here for the overview presentation from this workshop. Below you will find the list of everyone who was on the panel, and their favorite books and apps on the topic. A summary of discussions was sent to all attendants. We are working on the 2020-2021 Parent Ed Workshop Series. Drop us a note with suggestions!
Here is the company info for everyone on the panel. We really do mean it. We do hope that you reach out to us for help if you need it. We are here for you.

Books we find helpful:
· Stuck but smart, Thomas Brown
· Delivered from Distraction by Ed Hallowell
· This book is a good primer on non-medication avenues to explore. It’s from 2008, but that means there are more—all of these are still relevant: https://amzn.to/3e3MjuD
· Kenneth Bock Healing the New Childhood Epidemics
· Executive Function Skills in Children and Adolescents: A Practical Guide to Assessment and Intervention by Peg Dawson and Richard Guare (2010)
Apps we recommend for kids with ADHD
· Routinist is a good one. Try the free version first—it may be enough for your child. It’s a timed task list for routines.
· Pomodoro timers. 360 Time Tracker.
· Trello is a great app for list tracking Power Planner was the better planner app
