Parent to Parent: Family Training on AD/HD
What is Parent to Parent?
Parent to Parent: Family Training on AD/HD was developed by Linda
Smith, Beth Kaplanek, and Mary Durheim over a period of more than two
years. Parent to Parent provides educational information and support for
individuals and families dealing with AD/HD and learning to navigate the
challenges of AD/HD across the lifespan. Courses are offered
in communities across the country. The curriculum was developed by
parents who have lived the experience, but who also have had access to
the best researchers and practitioners in the country. The entire
course takes about 14 hours of time and is usually offered as
a seven-week class, meeting for two hours once a week. Participants
receive extensive materials to support them, including articles,
reference materials, handouts, and homework assignments. The curriculum
is very structured and includes information on:
•Overview of AD/HD
•Assessment to Multimodal Treatment
•Managing the Impact(s) of AD/HD on the Family
•Developing Parenting Strategies and Positive Behavior
Interventions
•Educational Rights for Your Child with AD/HD
•Building an Education Team: Bridging the Gap Between Home
and School
•Resiliency, Teen Challenges & Future Success
