Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neuro-developmental disorders, affecting about 11% of school aged children. While having ADHD can lead to academic, social, and behavioral challenges, often due to distractibility, it also comes with unique strengths that can enrich the classroom environment.

In this webinar you will:

• Identify common characteristics of ADHD 
• Differentiate between the various types of ADHD
