#232: ADHD Medication: Swallowing Pills, Med Shortages, and When Your Child Says No

What do you do if your child refuses ADHD medication, can’t swallow pills, or the pharmacy simply can’t get the meds? In the final episode of our ADHD medication series, we tackle the real-life logistics of medication, including medication shortages, pill-swallowing challenges, and insurance issues. We also talk about how to help your child understand their medication, include them in the conversation, and navigate it when they’re resistant to taking it. MEET OUR TEAM We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. We’ve spent decades supporting thousands of families navigating ADHD. And we’re also moms: some of us raising kids with ADHD and some of us navigating it ourselves… which means we understand both the science and the real-life moments that don’t make it into textbooks.
