The transition problem and what to do about it

For many children living with ADHD the hardest moments at school do not happen during activities. They happen in between them. This episode looks at the science behind why transitions are so difficult for the ADHD brain, how to talk to your child's teacher about it, and one simple classroom strategy that reframes your child from struggling to capable. Plus why consistency across home and school is one of the most powerful things you can build for your child.SCIENCE REFERENCESBarkley, R. A. (2013).
