I found this very helpful to me as a teacher, for my own child, and for me to reflect upon as an individual. I would love for her to speak at my school!

I learned a lot that I did not know. Makes me wonder how many times some of my students were misdiagnosed with ADHD.

I really think this is a great resource that should be shared with teachers at the beginning of the year. Her information really helps teachers understand how to help and understand our students with excitable behaviors.
