Your child may know exactly what they need to do and even want to do it. But for children with ADHD, getting started, staying on track, and following through can still feel nearly impossible. They become frustrated, while you are left wondering how to truly help. What if you could better understand what is getting in the way?

JFS is pleased to offer you free access to The ADHD Playbook: Executive Function Strategies to Help Your Child Succeed, an expert-led virtual webinar presented by The Wellness Institute.

Tuesday, October 20, 2026, 8:00–9:30 p.m. EDT

Clinical psychologist and ADHD specialist Nachi Felt, PhD, will help parents understand the executive function challenges behind their child’s behavior and share practical strategies for routines, responsibilities, and building greater independence.
