Summary

More and more young children are being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but a lack of information and understanding can make it difficult for early childhood teachers to successfully include children with this disorder. This session will explore what ADHD IS, and what it is NOT, and help teachers look at the world through the eyes of a child with ADHD. We will learn about specific strategies and approaches we can use to support these children, and take time to share and "problem-solve" some of our own real-world challenges.
