Family Matters Presents ADHD
Blackwood, NJ – January 14, 2013 — 5.4 million children between the ages of 4 and 17 are diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and this number increased 22% from parents-reported diagnosis between 2003 to 2007 according to the Centers for Disease Control. Family members and ADHD children often struggle to find solutions to learn, engage and interact on a daily basis.
At 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 26th, Family Matters is hosting Dr. Samantha Dawson, PhD and Dori Millisky to speak directly to parents about ADHD. Family Matters is a non-faith based, community outreach program that meets monthly and provides a platform for the community to come together for the opportunity to hear from the experts on how to address common topics, issues and situations that arise in family life.
