Greetings!
 Hallowell ADHD Summer Camp - remove shame and blame and replace those feelings with pride and joy. July 13-17, Glen Arbor, MI - on the shores of Lake Michigan. The great emphasis of the experience-both for the parents and well as the kids-is on identifying and promoting the strengths associated with ADHD. We achieve this by combining practical knowledge with coaching and encouragement. Having done this for 8 years now, we have a great deal of experience in packing maximum value into 5 short days. Almost everyone who attends the camp-parents and students alike-comes away amazed at how valuable the experience was, how enriching, exciting, practically useful, emotionally uplifting, and yes, fun.

END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND SUMMER TESTING
Testing is imperative to determine how your child learns and to document and track academic progress.
End of year testing enables us to:
- Make available the results to generate teaching/learning program suggestions well in advance of the start of the school year.
- Document what was learned this past year while the information is still fresh in your child's mind. Tracking this performance from year to year allows us to adjust IEP/school services accordingly to ensure learning and gains are being made as desired.
- Determine where your child is lagging academically so we can generate teaching/learning programs to implement over the summer.
We provide testing at all Hallowell Centers. To make an appointment, please call the Sudbury, Mass office at 978-287-0810; the NY-Manhattan at 212-799-7777; San Francisco at [415-967-0061] or Seattle at [206-420-7345]
Emergency Academic Recovery System (EARS)
Middle school to college age students - Dipping grades, low self-esteem? Together we create a plan and get to work!
Our first in-person visit is to get to know your student's helpful traits and past successes, study recent testing and teacher reports, identify areas of concern and set a course for action. Often the problems center around executive functioning - planning, organizing, initiating, emotional regulation, working memory, inhibition and the ability to shift between tasks and emotional states. Regular follow-up sessions can be in person, by phone or Skype. All that's needed is a supportive parent or caregiver, and a cooperative, trustworthy student who is "change-ready" and eager for a positive approach to solving problems and making new habits. Contact Rebecca for a free inquiry at 978 287 0810. More information at DrHallowell.com.
 Upgrade your Working Memory at Home This Summer! Working Memory, the ability to keep information in your mind for several seconds, manipulate it, and use it in your thinking is the engine of learning. Cogmed training is for children and adults who wish to improve their ability to concentrate, reduce impulsivity and resist distraction. Reading Comprehension, problem solving, organization and mental math are just some of the working memory tasks we employ every day. Working memory weaknesses are common in persons with ADHD, executive dysfunction and head injury, and can also benefit those without learning problems who seek an extra edge in optimizing their academic and professional potential. Researchers claim that intensive brain training can help stave off deteriorating effects of brain aging. Cogmed training is backed by solid research that no other brain training product can match and an outstanding track record of strong and lasting effects in thousands of trainees in America and around the world. Training is done at the user's home with weekly or as needed coaching sessions by phone or Skype. Learn more at drhallowellsudbury.com or call Rebecca Shafir, speech pathologist and former Cogmed coach trainer, at 978 287 0810.

In this groundbreaking new book, Dr. Eichenstein has written a guide for parents who are struggling with their 'atypical' child; be it ADHD, Autism, a learning disability or any other diagnosis. She notes that the tendency to just focus on the child's well being is only half the journey; because much of the child's ultimate mental well being rests largely on the well-being of the parents and she provides tools and understanding to help parents work through the often discouraging process of raising a child with any type of difference. If you are a parent who wants help in coping with the challenges of raising an atypical child, or a professional who wants to get a better idea of how better to understand the parents of the children they work with, Dr. Eichenstein's book will help you rise to the occasion and beyond. www.notwhatiexpected.info.
