About the Seminar:
Attention Deficit Disorder/Hyperactivity is commonly diagnosed and much has been written by the medical profession. Yet the practical day-to-day implementation of this information has often been neglected. Participants will gain a better understanding of the history of AD/HD and how it affects children and adults alike. Participants will learn the three types of AD/HD and the characteristics of each. Participants will also learn techniques to work with those diagnosed both in school and in the home.
