Handouts that will be used in class will be posted in the Outschool classroom. Please print these out if you can. Colored pens or pencils, post-it notes, and something to write with are always helpful in many of my Outschool classes.
Since this is a class for ADHD learners, subjects such as 504 plans, Individual Education Plans, and the use of medication to manage ADHD may come up. In terms of medication, I always address this when it is mentioned by saying that it can be very effective to help learners manage their ADHD, but different families handle this differently. I also mention other ways to manage ADHD such as exercise and structure. This class does not constitute therapy, but rather provides executive function support and the opportunity to connect and problem solve with other ADHD Learners.
This class is inspired by a video by Jessica McCabe of the channel How to ADHD entitled "How to (Actually) Get Out the Door on Time"
