Session: FG1-Plenary-There’s Never
Anything So Wrong With Us That What’s Right With Us Can’t
Fix
When it comes to rising above life's challenges, ADHD
among them, few things are more important than learning to see these
challenges in a hopeful new light. But how do we learn to do this when
others continue to see our challenges in a very old light? During this
presentation we'll explore the ways. In the process we'll also review a
number of promising practices that are helping those with ADHD learn to
see themselves through their strengths as opposed to their challenges.
When it comes to rising above life's difficulties it's really true.
"There's never anything so wrong with us that what's right with us can't
fix."
