Talking With Pediatric Neuropsychologists About ADHD
Manage episode 403468875 series 2140152
An ADHD diagnosis can be a welcome answer for parents who are struggling to understand their child’s behavior. But a diagnosis doesn’t come with a user’s manual, and kids especially can have a hard time understanding what all the clinical terms mean for them and their needs. This time I’m in conversation with pediatric neuropsychologists Dr. Katia Fredriksen and Dr. Yael E. Rothman. They’ve written Different Thinkers: ADHD a kid-friendly guide that aims to help little ones understand and celebrate their neurodiversity.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why sleep issues, anxiety, and other sensitivities are often mistaken for signs of ADHD.
- How a collaborative approach involving parents, teachers, and medical professionals can help you understand and honor kids no matter their neurodiversity.
- That helping a highly sensitive child cope with an overstimulated world works best when you take it step by step.
And much more!
