Meet "DAVE," Dopamine Attention Variability Executive-dysfunction. Whether 504 is your love language and you see e-Sped in your sleep, you’re a veteran accommodator, new to the realm of neurodivergence, or even an ADHD-denier (*gasp*), there is something in this session for you. Like so many other labels out there, there is so much misinformation floating around and plenty of misunderstandings to clear up. With 1 in 11 students diagnosed with ADHD, we are all touched by these unique individuals who on any given day can leave us drained of all patience, cracking up hysterically, or scratching our heads in bewilderment.
This session is about debunking ADHD untruths and understanding what this neurodivergence is really about, along with many of the ways it potentially impacts our students (hint: it's not actually about attention or hyperactivity!). We will learn how to recognize traits, guide kids through the struggles, highlight the strengths, and support our students as they figure themselves out.
Where to begin? This session will show you the ins and outs of SymbolStix. We will start at the basics from creating picture cards and moving on to how to incorporate them into your classroom.
