Michael McLeod shared great insight behind Attention Deficit Disorder. His work and research behind executive functioning is really a game changer on how we view ADHD and really at a basic level what it means for that kid just waking up and trying to make it to the bus on time.
Lots of great nuggets here. Some things we discussed :
What ADHD is & what it is not
The value of play and varied experiences in fostering Executive function skills
Preferred versus non-preferred tasks
The art of delayed gratification, self-soothing and motivation
Why using less language is actually more with executive function challenges
