Dr. Marcia Eckerd will explain how to differentiate between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and rambunctious child's play, or a child who just doesn't like to pay attention, during a “Speak Up for Kids” talk on Wednesday, May 25, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Black Rock Branch Library, 2705 Fairfield Ave., Bridgeport.

Eckerd is a psychologist who has worked with children, teens, families and schools for more than 25 years. She’s on the Board of the Connecticut Association of Children with Learning Disabilities and Smart Kids with LD, is on the voluntary psychiatry staff at Norwalk Hospital, and has a blog, “People Skills,” for Psychology Today.

The program is co-sponsored by the Connecticut Association for Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities (CACLD) and the Black Rock Branch Library.
