Two Good Homes, One Confused Kid: Closing the Gap Between the Parenting Plan and Daily Life with ADHD in the House

Speaker
Dan Leibowitz, M.Ed.,M.Sped.,C.E.T. | Innovative Learning Services

The Family Law Section invites you to attend the THURS, September 3rd (virtual) presentation, Two Good Homes, One Confused Kid: Closing the Gap Between the Parenting Plan and Daily Life with ADHD in the House, beginning at 12:00 PM (until 1:00 PM) via Zoom Webinar.

You know this pattern: two parents, two households, a child with ADHD, and a parenting plan that looks great on paper but falls apart in practice. The conflict that follows rarely stems from bad faith — it stems from two homes that don't share a common understanding of what they're actually dealing with.
This presentation addresses that missing piece. A parenting plan tells you who has the kid when. It doesn't tell either household how to handle the homework battle, the transition meltdown, or the daily routines that help or hinder a child with ADHD. When both parents genuinely understand how ADHD shapes their home environment and interactions, not just their child's diagnosis, the recommendations from evaluators, therapists, and parenting coordinators start to make sense, stick longer, and need less enforcement. Less ambiguity between households means better outcomes for kids and families, and fewer return trips to court.

Attendees will be able to recognize when a post-decree dispute is actually a structural or executive-function gap rather than a compliance or personality issue — and where an education-first intervention fits alongside the legal and clinical work already in place.

This work is designed for families where the conflict is behavioral and structural, not safety-driven, and is not a substitute for therapy, mediation, or the court's authority over the existing order; it's a practical layer that sits alongside it. No reports are written for court and no testimony is provided, so referring counsel can recommend it without discovery or scope-of-practice concerns.

Practical, education-first, and grounded in recognized parent-training, self-regulation, and executive-function frameworks, this is the layer that helps everything else fall into place.

Time will be reserved for Questions.
Zoom Webinar information will be sent after initial registration, 1 day and 1 hour prior to presentation.

Speaker Information

Dan Leibowitz, M.Ed.,M.Sped.,C.E.T.

Innovative Learning Services

Dan Leibowitz, M.Ed., M.S. Sped., C.E.T., has spent 30 years in classrooms, schools, and homes —
as a special education leader, educational therapist, and Bay Area consultant. He has worked with
hundreds of neurodiverse families navigating the gap between what they know about their child and
what actually works day to day, including divorced and co-parenting families building consistency
across two households. His work sits at the intersection of ADHD, executive function, and family
dynamics: where evaluations and parenting plans leave families with the what, Dan works in the how
and why.

This presentation is his introduction to the Marin Family Law community — for attorneys with motivated
clients committed to a child-focused approach despite the divorce, he'd welcome the opportunity to be
a resource. He is also a divorced father who has parented across two homes himself and knows
firsthand what becomes possible when two households get on the same page.
