What Embracing ADHD Changes for You
Let's redefine how we perceive ADHD. It's not just a disorder but a different way of thinking and unique strengths and weaknesses. Let's encourage acceptance and participation, and watch as these individuals reach their full potential.
ADHD Coaching
The key here is to treat ADHD as a spectrum, not a label. It's like looking at a box of crayons. Not every colour needs to be bright red or deep blue. Some might be pastel pink or sky blue, but they're all still colours. Learning how to find these “colours”, this order and learning style is the key to making the features of ADHD work for us, not against us. The environment is important too – it may not be easily changed, but with some tweaking, coaching and reflecting now things are done, life can be much easier and more successful. Such a skills-based approach – that’s what we at Voix are advocating for, and seeing excellent results.
