Parenting Summit: Our next Parenting Summit will be held on Thursday, February 23, at 8:30 a.m. at the Monticello Road Campus. Did you know that 11% of school aged children are diagnosed with ADHD? Ben Lippen School recognizes that while there are many advantages to ADHD, there can also be challenges. This parenting summit is designed to increase parents’ understanding of ADHD, as well as share strategies to improve life at home and school. Leah Danford, PhD and Trisha Kirkland, LPC will share from their professional training and personal experiences to help parents feel better equipped to guide their students. https://www.benlippen.com/fall-parenting-summit/
