ADHD Crash Course

ADHD shares traits with several other mental health diagnoses, which means that getting an accurate diagnosis (and the right kind of support for your brain) can be tricky. What traits does ADHD share with anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder? What are the differences? And can you have ADHD along with another diagnosis?

Today we chat with Erin Vandermore, a licensed therapist, wellness coach, and the founder of Age of Uncertainty Coaching about the complicated connection between trauma and ADHD.
Since ADHD and trauma can show up very similarly, it can be challenging (even for clinicians) to differentiate between the two. The fact that many of those with an ADHD diagnosis have experienced trauma around their diagnosis and/or the impact ADHD has had on their lives adds to the complexity of this topic.
Erin offers expert insights on how we can identify trauma and understand its influence on our lives. She explains how somatic therapies like EMDR work and how they can be used to overcome our traumatic experiences.
Listen to this episode of ADHD Crash Course to learn more about the ADHD/ Trauma Connection!

Although grades serve as one measure of our progress, they should NOT be the only measure! Students with executive functioning deficits (and even those without) benefit when we shift our focus from the outcome to the effort they are making. Not only does this decrease anxiety, it helps develop key EF skills like planning, prioritizing, self-monitoring, and flexible thinking.
Building these skills matter more than achieving a perfect score on any one test or class. When we overemphasize grades, it can actually make it more difficult for students to develop the executive functioning skills they need!
Why? They stop focusing on what they can control in the moment and get overwhelmed with a future outcome.
Learn how we can shift our emphasis with our students and why it matters in this episode of ADHD Crash Course!

Today we speak with Dawn Barclay, author of "Traveling Different: Vacation Strategies for Parents of the Anxious, the Inflexible, and the Neurodiverse".
Dawn shares helpful tips for how we can support our children with invisible needs like ADHD, Autism, and anxiety and enjoy creating family memories with less stress!
