Note:

I have recently accepted a full-time position and now teach very few classes on Outschool. At this time, I am unable to accommodate class requests. Thank you!

In society today, ADHD  is often seen only in a negative light. Yet along with things like inattentiveness and procrastination, can come advantages like creativity and hyperfocus. In this one-time-course, students will learn about the positive aspects that often accompany ADHD. I will introduce students, in layman's terms, to what research suggests are some of the advantages of having ADHD.  Students will also learn about celebrities who have succeeded not in spite of, but perhaps BECAUSE of, their ADHD. It is my hope that after taking this class, students will see their ADHD as less of a burden and in a more positive light.

This class is almost identical to my "ADHD Superpowers" class, but the discussion will be geared toward older students and be presented in a more mature way. I use a Prezi and a PowerPoint with visuals to present the material while encouraging discussion and participation as students share their gifts. Students are given many opportunities to share, but are never forced to. 

I am known for my ability to relate to and engage with learners of all ages, and am very passionate about this topic. I truly feel that students with ADHD have some very special, and often overlooked, gifts. 

If your learner enjoys this class, they may also enjoy my weekly club class, "ADHD Teens."
