One Size Does Not Fit All;
ADHD at Home and in School Settings
Workshop led by Dr. Robert Silvestri
ADHD is a neuro-bio-psycho-social disorder. Accordingly, this
presentation will provide parents with knowledge of the
biological, cognitive, and behavioural mechanisms underlying
symptoms of ADHD. Simulations will provide presentation
participants the chance to experience ADHD symptoms. The
impact of ADHD across home and school settings will be
discussed and academic strategies/ accommodations that most
benefit students with ADHD will be conveyed as well.
