November 2024 - Speaker Series (CEU Event)

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental impairment of the brain’s self-management system known as executive functions. This disorder is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed disorders affecting both children and adults. In this workshop, we will delve into what ADHD is, the signs and symptoms, as well as the reasoning behind these misdiagnoses. We will cover the role that gender stereotypes play in the rate at which boys and girls are diagnosed and the impact it can have on their self-esteem and mental health. We will talk about the different ways ADHD can present itself in children versus adults and why it is not uncommon for individuals to get diagnosed later in life. We will also explore reading ability and disability, including the mechanics of reading, and common reading problems. We will discuss the much-misunderstood condition of dyslexia, including what it is and is not, and what it feels like to have the disorder. We will also cover common approaches that schools employ for reading intervention at various levels.

CE Credit: 1.5 hour of CE credit is available for attendees who are present for the entire program.
