Book Dr. Zach to Speak: The Perfect Storm Talk

Bring Dr. Zach Conner to your parent group, school, clinic or workplace for a talk that shows how early stressors stack up in kids, and what to do about it.

Why this talk matters

Kids are carrying more than they used to

ADHD, autism, sensory processing challenges, allergies, asthma and ear infections are on the rise in kids. Parents, teachers and therapists see it every day, and they want to know why.

The Perfect Storm explains how early stressors stack up: a stressful pregnancy, a hard birth, early rounds of medication and more. Layer by layer, they can leave a child's nervous system stuck in a protective, high-alert state.

Dr. Zach gives your group a whole-child framework for understanding what they are seeing, plus practical next steps parents and staff can start using right away.
