ADHD in Preschool: Early Diagnosis & Intervention for Young Children

August 8 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm MDT

FREE

EXPERTS: Alexis Bancroft, Ph.D.Cynthia Martin, Psy.D.

What are the signs of ADHD in a preschooler? Can preschoolers be diagnosed with ADHD? Research suggests that symptoms of ADHD can emerge in young children. In fact, to qualify for an ADHD diagnosis under the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), the symptoms must be present before the age of 12. But because preschool children are typically active and easily distractable, identifying early signs of ADHD can be a challenge.

This webinar will provide an overview of the behavioral onset patterns of ADHD as well as the early signs, symptoms, and treatment for preschool children with suspected ADHD.

In this webinar, participants will also learn:

  • How to differentiate between typical development and behaviors among preschoolers that may indicate ADHD
  • About the different types of ADHD and their early signs and symptoms
  • How a diagnosis of ADHD is made during the preschool years
  • Evidenced-based treatment guidelines for managing ADHD in young children at home and in preschool
  • How to advocate for your child’s needs
