10th Annual ADHD Symposium: Photos & Presentations

Thank you to all who attended the 10th Annual ADHD Symposium. Chesapeake Bay Academy (CBA), in partnership with Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters (CHKD), welcomed over 100 attendees to our annual community event. Keynote speaker Dr. Katia Fredriksen, clinical psychologist, pediatric neuropsychologist, and award-winning author, shared powerful strategies for helping young people improve executive functioning skills while managing ADHD. Following the keynote, guests had the opportunity to attend breakout sessions offered by experts from our local community and beyond. The group reconvened at a post-conference luncheon. Our annual event is focused on increasing awareness, understanding, and resources to support to those living with and/or working in the field of ADHD.
