Invisible Disabilities – ADD & ADHD 

Attention Deficit Disorder & Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Making the Invisible Visible : Did you know that not all Disabilities are Visible? Do you want to understand why some children can’t focus, worry too much, have difficulty putting their words together, avoid going to school or resist authority?

What to expect?

Do you work with a child who has trouble listening? Does the child have difficulty staying on task?  Do they seem to look into space when you want them to finish a task?

Learn more about Attention Deficit Disorder & Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD&ADHD) as we talk about what interventions can be used. What programs and services are available to help children succeed in life. Listen to first-hand experiences on what it is like living with ADHD: its challenges and successes.
