Topic: ADHD-Friendly Strategies For Neurodivergent Adults Supporting Kids At Home And School

If you are a parent or teacher with ADHD, you know it’s hard.  Really, really hard.  We love our kids and want to give them our very best.  And there are so many unique ways that an ADHD brain works that make teaching and parenting our neurodivergent kids even more of a struggle than it already is. But it’s not just the struggle that your ADHD brain brings to the relationship- the kids lucky enough to learn and grow with you benefit from your ADHD brain as well!

Join Marcy Caldwell and Mattea LeWitt as we explore how to ease the struggle of aligning needs while capitalizing on the benefits inherent in the overlap with research-backed, ADHD-friendly strategies.
