During this 60-minute webinar, Tyler McGuire from the Ohio State University Employee Assistance Program will provide an overview of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, aka AD(H)D.
After attending this session participants will be able to:
Describe what AD(H)D is, why it exists, and why the "H" isn't always present or obvious.
Recognize the diversity of experiences and identities AD(H)D within the community.
Value the unique gifts, abilities, and skills people with AD(H)D possess because of their experiences living in a society primarily designed for neurotypical brains.
Better understand and engage with people who have AD(H)D in a variety of contexts.
Function as an ally to people with AD(H)D by countering misinformation with facts and responding to microaggressions as an active bystander.
Better support students, colleagues, friends, and family who have AD(H)D.
