ADHD and Me, by Blake Taylor

Today at the Jackson Theater at Sonoma Country Day School

Blake Taylor "Growing up with ADHD"
Time: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM

In his book, ADHD and Me, Blake Taylor gives us an inside look at what it's like to grow up with the condition known as ADHD. Blake is currently a sophomore at UC Berkeley but wrote ADHD and Me during his last two years of high school. Parents, faculty and counselors know how tough it is to deal with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but they don't know what it's like to grow up with it. "I have something to say that no adult can say," comments the nineteen year old author, Blake Taylor.

This complimentary event is geared to counselors, educators and parents and is a offered by Sonoma Country Day School in partnership with Sonoma County School Counseling Association.
