This one time class is introductory. The class will discuss what ADHD is, will embrace it as a strength, and will review several strategies and tools. This class is informative and the strategies discussed are not treatment or counseling but rather educational in nature.

The focus of the class will be on putting the different tools that students learn about to work. We will practice deep breathing, strategies to sustain attention, and techniques to deal with impulsivity. We will incorporate practicing chunking, utilizing movement breaks, and using fidgets to focus, into our class. Lots of examples will be given and there will be active practice using the strategies suggested. This class uses multimodal instruction. Incorporating videos, hands on learning, activities, and discussion students can learn new strategies with ease.
