Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Everything that we once thought about ADHD is wrong. ADHD doesn't limit your potential. It isn't a cause of concern. It shapes the way you process the world around you and how you learn and  succeed with this information. This engaging, hands on course helps students explore what ADHD truly is: a unique neurological wiring that influences focus, impulsivity, and activity levels. When students learn what makes their brain unique they can harness this power and  uncover their strengths, learn functional tips/ strategies to thrive in their education, with friends and into adulthood. This class will expand on the scientific knowledge of ADHD, bust the myths surrounding ADHD in the media, explore stigmas and much much more
