This course will help students not only take a deep dive into the characteristics associated with ADHD; but, also learn how to thrive with the qualities that make them uniquely them. In class, students will participate in weekly self-assessments and a review of activities to address a specific area of their ADHD. Then, students will pick the activity that works best for them to complete as "homework". (Homework may require the support of an adult for planning and execution purposes. The goal of homework activities is to develop realistic approaches towards attainable results.) Ultimately, students will learn to recognize their strengths and how to optimize them for success in their daily lives. *Required Resource for Participation: "Thriving with ADHD Workbook for Kids: 60 Fun Activities to Help Children Self-Regulate, Focus, and Succeed (Health and Wellness Workbooks for Kids)" Miller, Kelli.
