ADHD (And Executive Function) Essentials
In this session, I will discuss ADHD, and how it affects homeschoolers. We will begin with the various types of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, then move into the role dopamine and executive functioning play in ADHD. To conclude, we look at the emotional impact of disorder, and why it can get in the way of learning. Throughout the session, strategies will be discussed for better managing the executive function challenges presented by ADHD, and related disorders, when homeschooling.
