    Recognition, Support, and Success

    This is a comprehensive educational course focused on understanding and supporting girls with ADHD across their developmental stages.

    The content is structured into three main segments, with each segment addressing a specific age group: elementary school, middle school, and high school girls.

    The course features expert instruction from Dr. Kathleen Nadeau, who presents the material through both video lectures and related articles. For each age group, you'll first watch a video presentation where Dr. Nadeau shares her expertise on identifying and helping girls with ADHD at each developmental stage. Following each video, you'll read an in-depth article that expands upon the video content. These articles are adapted from Dr. Nadeau's book "Understanding Girls with ADHD," providing additional context and detailed insights.

    The course is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to progress through the material at your own pace. You can choose to complete all segments in one sitting or space them out according to your schedule. To ensure comprehension of the material, each segment concludes with a quiz covering the information presented in both the video and article.

    For those seeking continuing education credits, the course offers 4 APA-approved CE credits upon successful completion. However, it's important to note that you must complete all components of the course and pass all three quizzes with 75% or more marks, as partial credit is not available.

    This requirement ensures that participants gain a thorough understanding of supporting girls with ADHD from Elementary through Highschool.
