Behavioral and developmental issues are tremendous stressors for children and families. Students who have struggled in school will likely be under additional stress in the next school year. Families want to know what they can do to prepare for the next academic year. We will explore best practices in diagnosis and treatment through a well-rounded discussion, leveraging our partnership with Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

Episode guests: Randall (Randy) Ricardi, DO; Funda Bachini, MD; Veenod (Vinny) Chulani, MD and John Barton, PhD

Hosted by: Jonathan Lifshitz, PhD and Katie Brite, MD
