Does your son or daughter have ADHD, ADD, or another learning challenge that affects focus, attention or executive functioning?

Standard driver education curriculum does not address all the needs of your child while he or she is learning to drive. This set of training webinars gives parents specialized tools and strategies for children with this learning profile, to reduce frustration for everyone involved, and ensure success for your son or daughter.
