The Anna Shaw Children’s Institute (ASCI), 1201 Burleyson Road, will hold a family support class on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at 6 p.m. in the Southern Magnolia Rooms on first floor of the facility.

 

Emily Brandt, MD, developmental and behavioral pediatrician, will provide an introduction to ADHD.

 

“As children settle into the new school year, concerns may be raised about how they are learning and functioning in the classroom,” said Brandt. “ADHD is one of many factors that can make learning a challenge, so we will talk about what it can look like and what interventions may help.”

 

This class is part of ASCI’s CHAMP series. CHAMP stands for Classes to Help, Advise and Motivate Parents. The sessions will be held each month. The CHAMP series is open to families of children of any age.

Please register by calling 706-226-8911. Space is limited. Childcare will be available for the first 10 families requesting the service. To receive assistance with interpretation services and/or auxiliary aids during this event, please let us know when registering.

 

Participants are encouraged to park in the lower lot since the upper doors will be locked by 6 p.m.
