Understanding the hyperactive child in the classroom
from Dr. Amy Focus · host Dr. Amy Spoelstra
We need to know what an individual’s “behaviors” (i.e., deflections) tell us about what primary tools they are using to process their world. This will help us know how we can engage with them and help them fill gaps in development. In this video, Dr. Amy breaks down how to watch and wonder with a hyperactive school-aged child.
