The Argument for and Against Changing the ADHD Label

from Attention Talk Radio · host Jeff Copper, MBA, PCC, PCAC, CPCC, ACG

Attention deficit disorder! It is so negative. The words, “deficit” and “disorder,” take us to a negative place from the get-go. What would it be like if we could change the label? What about something more positive or politically correct? On the other hand, are we stuck with the name? In this episode, host ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (www.digcoaching.com) and guest host Caroline Maguire (www.necoaching.com) talk about the pros and cons of changing the label and insight around how it is what it is. If you are frustrated or curious by the ADD or ADHD label, this is a show you won’t want to miss.
