🌟 October is ADHD Awareness Month 🌟

At PDC, we celebrate the strengths and unique abilities of children with ADHD 🧡✨ While ADHD can bring challenges with focus, organization, and regulation, it also comes with creativity, curiosity, and amazing problem-solving skills!

💬 Our Speech Therapists support kids with communication, social skills, and self-advocacy.
🤲 Our Occupational Therapists help with attention, regulation, executive functioning, and building independence.

Together, we empower kids to thrive at school, home, and in the community! 🌈

💡 This month, let’s raise awareness, break stigma, and highlight the importance of early support. Every child deserves the tools to succeed!
