October is ADHD Awareness Month, a time to increase understanding about ADHD and how it affects families. ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is much more than being “hyper” or “distracted.” It’s a description of the neurodiverse mind that influences attention, self-regulation, impulsivity, and executive functioning skills, the mental processes that allow us to plan, organize, start and finish tasks, and regulate emotions.
Today Dr. Cory is joined by Kaliq Alexander from the Rainbow Collective for Change. They discuss the Rainbow Collective’s mission and how you can help your child to recognize the diversity in the world.
