Today’s Goals
• I am going to help you understand the incredible Spirited, Imaginative and Playful “gifts” common in individuals with ADHD
• I am going to help you think about “Differences in Ability” rather than “Disorder” or “Disability”
• I will teach you how the “Differences in Ability” lead to misinterpretations, unrealistic expectations and damaging responses
• I will challenge you to think about how you can nurture the incredible nature of individuals with “Differences in Ability to Regulate”
