If you are the parent of a child with ADHD, you know the challenges that can be created at home, at school and sometimes in the community. In an effort to assist families, the Fayette County Public School is offering a support group for parents of students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders. An organizational meeting was held on August 10, 2006 and it was determined that a portion of each meeting will be used for support and another portion to acquire new information and share ideas. The group will come together the last Wednesday of each month from 7 to 8 pm to discuss issues relevant to parenting students who are inattentive, impulsive and/or hyperactive. Meeting dates are as follows: August 30, September 27, October 25, November 29, January 31, February 28, March 28 and April 25. All sessions will be held at the It's About Kids Support Service building (central board of education office) at 701 East Main Street in conference room C or D. Upon entering the building, take the elevator to the second floor and look for signage. Refreshments will be served. Please join us to share your concerns and ideas!
