Join us for a day-long look at ADHD, Dyslexia, and Executive Function problems.

Dyslexia, ADHD, and anxiety frequently coexist. Often students do not respond to seemingly appropriate interventions because the impairment is the result of multiple factors and the intervention plan only addresses some of them. Dr. Tridas and Sr. Mary Cottrill will discuss the main contributing factors to these students’ problems and how they interact with each other to impair learning. In the morning, Dr. Tridas will review the symptoms of ADHD and anxiety and their impact on executive function and reading. In the afternoon, Sr. Mary Gilcrist will focus on how executive function deficits impact learning and give practical, strategic supports to assist students, teachers, and parents.

Eric Tridas, M.D. is the Medical Director of the Tridas Center for Child Development, a multidisciplinary practice in the Tampa Bay area. He is a developmental pediatrician who specializes in the diagnosis and management of handicapping conditions including ADHD, learning differences, dyslexia, autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities and other neurodevelopmental and behavioral problems. He is also a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of South Florida, Morsani College of Medicine. Dr. Tridas edited a book for parents titled From ABC to ADHD: What Every Parent Should Know About Dyslexia and Attention Problems.

Sr. Mary Gilchrist Cottrill is the Director of Ave Maria Preparatory School, a day school for children with learning and behavior challenges in Florida. She designed and directed several schools for children with special needs.
