EPISODE SUMMARY

This is part 2 of 2 for our ADHD and Students Topic.

In today's episode, I discuss ADHD with my guest, Dr. Audrey Benoit. She discusses how some students can receive a diagnosis of ADHD, but may really have a learning disorder or anxiety. She offers some advice to help students in the classroom and while at home doing homework. We also discuss how social difficulties, that are part of ADHD, need to be talked about a lot more. Lastly, what are some other types of treatments parents could try to help their child with ADHD?
