ADHD: What it is and What to Do

Description

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is increasingly present in early childhood classrooms. According to a 2014 report from Centers for Disease Control, nearly 6 million children have been diagnosed with ADHD. A complex condition that can take many forms, ADHD challenges many educators with how best to respond to the presenting child. What should we expect from these children? How do we best support them? This workshop will help professionals bolster their knowledge of the mental health condition, as well as provide them with concrete ideas as to how they can best respond to a student who is living with this disorder – whether or not the student has been diagnosed.
