過動症導師 - 技能與自信！

** This class covers many executive function areas and can be taken by students with or without an ADHD diagnosis. **

I am nearly finished with my child psychology degree specializing in mental health and brain development. My own son was diagnosed with ADHD and we have been riding the waves ever since :) 

What might ADHD look like? 

-Excessive energy
-Impulsiveness (acting without thinking)
-Being easily distracted
-Difficulties multitasking
-Frequent mood swings
-Disorganization
-Restlessness
-Problems prioritizing
-Poor time management
-Difficulty finishing tasks
-Irritability and angry outbursts
-Difficulty managing stress

Even without an ADHD diagnosis, many students struggle with some of the same symptoms! 

Our classroom goals are the following:

-Improve core areas of activity, attention, and impulsivity.
-Identify and change thoughts and behaviors so that students can manage daily activities with fewer difficulties.
-Manage stress and impulse control. 
-Improve study skills, organization, and task completion rates.
