Guest: Nicole Pounds, M.S. CCC-SLP

Join Nicole for the very first solo episode of Helping Kids Thrive as she shares her experience advocating for her child to receive a medical procedure that he needed despite the team not initially being on board.  She first learned about the connection between sleep and ADHD as a result of a previous episode of Helping Kids Thrive, which prompted her to do more research and begin to advocate for a sleep study for her child, resulting in a diagnosis of sleep apnea and a need for more follow up evaluations.

Episode Highlights:

• Background into Nicole's family
• Signs & Symptoms they noticed with their son
• Helping Kids Thrive episode that prompted this need for advocating
• Advocating for a sleep study & the results
• Why Nicole believes parents are the best advocates for their children
