Back to School, ADHD Style: What to Expect and How to Prepare

August 19, 2026

Brightmont Academy Speaker Series

Back to school looks different when your child has ADHD — and so does preparing for it. The strategies and expectations that work for neurotypical kids often fall flat, leaving parents frustrated and kids feeling like they're already behind before the year even starts. In this practical webinar part of the Brightmont Academy Speaker Series, Master Certified Coach and ImpactParents co-founder Elaine Taylor-Klaus shares what actually needs the attention of ADHD families at back-to-school time, and what is just not worth the stress.


In this session, Elaine will discuss:

  • 3 things you can do to readjust your child's sleep schedule
  • Advise on getting your child out the door
  • Share 2 new strategies to ensure your kid doesn't fall into the missing assignment trap
