Managing Neurodiverse Households

Virtual

Despite all the joys we garner from our families, managing a household can be challenging, even under the best of circumstances. An added layer of neurodiversity can increase every aspect of that equation. Designed for caregivers, in their hour-long presentation, Eldrich Carr (Head of School, Marburn Academy) and Erin Fiorito (Professional Clinical Counselor, E&L Counseling) will explore elements that may exacerbate the stress and strain of managing a neurodiverse household, while also providing strategies for families to counter these challenges. After the presentation, Marburn's presenters will do their very best to answer questions and further the discussion.

In Their Shoes: A Guided ADHD Simulation Experience

October 9, 2025, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
At Marburn Academy

Facilitated by Christine Kotik, Founder of CK ADHD Coaching & Consulting (READ BIO)

This immersive and interactive workshop is designed for parents, caregivers, and educators who want to better understand the daily experiences of children with ADHD. Rather than relying on lectures or slides, this session uses hands-on simulations to help participants feel what it’s like to struggle with attention, memory, impulse control, time awareness, and sensory overload.

Through a series of hands-on activities, participants gain a deeper understanding of how certain challenges can impact behavior, learning, and everyday interactions. Rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses, this experience is designed to build empathy and offer a fresh perspective. Attendees leave with greater insight into what might be driving a child’s actions—and practical ideas for offering support in more effective and compassionate ways.

Whether you work in a classroom or are parenting a child with ADHD, this experience offers a powerful and practical way to build connection, reduce frustration, and support kids in ways that actually work.
