Hard to Pay Attention? Lebanon Special School District hosts ADD/ADHD Workshop
ADD/ADHD is a medical condition that makes it hard for a person to pay attention
and/or control his or her actions. Join Lynn Cable, Director of Special Education and
Tammy Grow, Coordinated School Health Coordinator in an interactive learning session
on this topic. You will leave with a clearer understanding of ADD/ADHD, the diagnosis,
the educational implications, medications, and information on managing this medical
diagnosis. We will also discuss dietary issues and home/school issues.
“Workshops hosted by our Special Ed Department are among our most well attended,”
said Family Resource Center Coordinator, Beth Petty. “It has been a couple of years
since we have hosted on this topic, and Lynn Cable is sure to bring new information to
the night’s agenda.” Those who attend will get a free parent guide entitled, Helping Your
Child Manage ADHD by Channing-Bete. Split into four sections, the parenting manuals
include information on Understanding ADHD, Tracking, Treating and Other Important
Considerations, including how to work with your child’s school. These guides are
compliments of the Middle Tennessee Electric Sharing Change Program. Free childcare
and snacks will also be provided.
The workshop will be hosted on Monday, March 6 from 6:00-8:30 in the Castle Heights
Elementary Library located at 1007 Castle Heights Ave. N in Lebanon. LSSD Staff should
arrive at 5:30 to receive a half-day of Professional Development. They will be treated to
a thirty minute pre-meeting VIP Session with helpful classroom tips. Parents and
community members should arrive at 6:00. For more information and to RSVP, please
