Yellow Wood Academy will be a featured vendor at the ADD/ADHD Parent Summit this year! Below is a letter to parents about the event from the organizers:
The Eastside Parents of ADD/ADHD Kids group is excited to announce that we will be hosting our fourth community resource fair and summit on October 15th, 2022 in Sammamish. Similar to past formats, this event will feature speakers who are professionals in the field of ADHD, space for a resource fair, and an opportunity for parents to meet. We are proud to continue to offer this as a free event for parents and caregivers of kids/teens/young adults with ADD/ADHD-- a huge feat made possible by volunteers and amazing vendors like you!
Our speakers for the October meeting will present information on understanding executive functions, helping kids with ADHD and anxiety, and parenting support for kids with emotional regulation difficulties.
We have gotten so much positive feedback from parents at our past events about having so many local resources in one location. They appreciate learning about programs and providers that can be overwhelming to find otherwise. Our goal for this year's event is to continue to help educate the community about nearby resources for ADHD, so we are reaching out to psychologists, occupational therapists, schools, coaches, organizers, neuropsychologists, and other groups with the opportunity to join us for this purpose.
Each vendor will each have a small table to provide handouts and information, along with a representative present to meet families and answer questions. Attendance at our last meeting in 2020 was strong, with over 250 parents attending. Our Facebook community group has grown exponentially since then (we are currently an active group of over 1600 members) and we expect an even larger turnout!
Whether you have participated before or are joining us for the first time, we are excited to partner with you! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
