For many years, I have offered an ADHD program with specific techniques to use in assisting with attention, focus and concentration, and the lessening of distraction. I have administered tests for ADD and ADHD. I do screening with children, adolescents and adults. I also work with parents, schools and universities. I provide special programs for ADHD, as well as assistance with obtaining accommodations on standardized tests. The book, “Driven to Distraction” is a helpful resource for understanding this disorder. Parents of these children diagnosed with this condition are often running around trying to pick up the pieces! These children forget assignments, forget to bring their projects to school, and have trouble organizing and managing their lives. Their executive functioning is not as good as it should be.
Often gifted children appear to have ADD or ADHD because they are perceiving so many mental stimuli at once that they are not able to attend to details or they become distracted from the goal at hand.
I regularly offer free zoom workshops, which can provide a way to experience peace and calm, and organization. Please call for the latest schedule or for a consultation: 301-229-8000
