We invite you to a Community Conversation around Reframing ADHD on Tuesday, January 20 from 12 pm to 1 pm.
The medical and mental health communities have traditionally conceptualized ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in completely deficit-oriented language. However, ADHD is a neurotype that comes with a unique blend of strengths and challenges (see this article). Let’s come together to talk about how we can reframe ADHD and better support people with ADHD.
This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community.
About the format. With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
