state of the art educational program specifically designed for parents,
by parents. The training is now available as an online

phone. This seven session class includes a state of the art
curriculum with the training provided by an experienced and
certified Parent to Parent Teacher. Each of the two hour sessions
covers an area of information absolutely essential to the successful
management of AD/HD. And best of all the training is from a
parent’s perspective, by people who have faced the same struggles,

Previous Presenters:
Toni Wood is the instructor for this class. Toni was part
of the first group to be certified as a Parent to Parent: Family
Training on AD/HD instructor, in October 2004. She came to the training
while serving as the Coordinator (and now as Co-Coordinator)
of the Tidewater Chapter of CHADD, located in southern Virginia. She has
two children (both boys) who have been diagnosed with AD/HD and has been
married to her husband (also diagnosed) for 25 years. To say that her
household sometimes resembled a circus may be an understatement at
times, given that she also has AD/HD. With both boys now in college,
Toni brings to the Parent to Parent course 24 years of experience
dealing with children who have AD/HD, Special Education eligibility
meetings, and 504/IEP meetings. She has taken her knowledge and
experiences to go further and serve as an advocate to parents dealing
with the school systems, and also to help adults understand how the
AD/HD criteria affect them so they can experience more success in their
daily lives, both personally and professionally.
Equipment Requirements:
Computer and Internet Connection: The
training is offered via the internet and by phone simultaneously.
You will need a computer connected to the internet. If you have a
dial up connection, you need to have a second phone line to access the
audio portion of the class. We will be sending you an
internet address and a password to enter the class for each
session. You will see the PowerPoint presentation on you home
computer screen.
Required Operating System: Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4.0, 2000, XP
Home, XP Pro, or 2003 Server
Required Internet Browser: Internet Explorer 5.0+, Netscape
6.0+, or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or later
Required Internet Connection: Stable 56k modem, cable modem,
ISDN, DSL or better internet connection
Recommended: Minimum of Pentium 400 MHz with 256 MB of RAM or
more
Phone Connection: In addition, you will be
dialing into the class by phone to allow you to both hear the
presentation and to interact with the presenter. The class
participation is limited to 15 families to allow for questions and
interaction. Because each class is a 2 hour session, and the
call is likely to be long distance, you may want to consider signing up
for a calling plan that includes all long distance calls at no
additional charge, if you do not have one already. The training
does not have an 800 number. This would increase the cost of the
training substantially.
(If your system will not meet the above requirements contact a Parent
to Parent teacher in your local community and ask about class
schedules. Click on Parent
to Parent Classes)
Cost: $100 (Internet only) (Call CHADD if you have other
methods of payment)
