How To Do Recess: Grades 2-4
Social & Executive Function Skills develop naturally through unstructured play.  This can be challenging for many boys with ADHD who have lagging social executive function skills.   During the program we play different types of games, go to the Boardwalk and work on perspective-taking skills, situational awareness and learning how to be flexible in play situations.

Guy’s Group: 5th Grade & 6-8th Grades (Separate Groups)
Guy’s Group is the updated version of two separate ADHD Dude programs which have been combined into one. Both of the original programs have been presented at the International Conference on ADHD.  Guy’s Group is a fun, active program for boys ages 11-14.     
Age-appropriate topics covered from in Guy’s Group (formerly How To Hang Out & Guy Stuff):

  • Perspective-Taking (Understanding others thoughts & how you come across to others)
  • Improving situational awareness (reading a room)
  • Learning how to go from school friends to outside of school friends
  • Showing interest in others & having reciprocal conversations
  • Learning how to be flexible in order to be part of a peer group
  • Using social media/electronic communication appropriately
