Different thinkers CAN and DO make wonderful things happen.

DIFFERENT THINKERS: ADHD

Different Thinkers: ADHD is the first book in the Different Thinkers series, designed to teach elementary-aged children about their amazing brains. This book provides children, their families, and other professionals with language to understand an ADHD diagnosis, deal with its challenges, and realize the excellent strengths and gifts associated with a different thinking brain. The book features three vignettes of children who demonstrate different presentations of ADHD, examples of strategies to support them at school and at home, and a workbook where a child can write about their own strengths, challenges, and ideas to best support their thinking and learning. It is important to empower children with knowledge about how their brains work to help them become their best self-advocates in the future.
