This rings true for all students, but it echoes more loudly for neurodivergent children and teens. However, most educators receive no formal training for teaching students with ADHD and learning differences (LD). As a result, teachers may mistake ADHD symptoms in the classroom for carelessness, defiance, and/or laziness. They may not recognize that executive functions develop more slowly in these students or realize that these deficits impact how they focus, plan, organize, and learn.

With the right tools, educators can unlock a lifetime of positive learning and show students they are capable and resilient. How to Teach (and Inspire) Students with ADHD: A Guide for Educators points the way.

It begins with a simple but critical truth: Students with ADHD learn differently. We identify symptoms of ADHD and learning differences educators seldom recognize at school — and provide solutions for anticipating and addressing each.

Great teachers know that saying the right words in the right way can transform the self-esteem and drive of a formerly defeated student. Here, we highlight how visual and auditory cues and praise make a difference in the classroom. This eBook also provides teachers with communication strategies and scripts to help increase confidence, self-advocacy, and productivity in students with ADHD and LD.

In its 225+ pages, How to Teach (and Inspire) Students with ADHD: A Guide for Educators details expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

• Surprising ways ADHD shows up in the classroom
• How executive function deficits impact learning
• Why praise is important for children with ADHD and LD
• How teachers can support twice-exceptional students
• Ways to boost confidence and motivation in students
• Why school stress is toxic for students with ADHD and LD
• How to recognize — and prevent — student burnout
• And much more!

Above all, educators will gain insights into engaging, inspiring, and multi-sensory teaching strategies that support and prepare children and teens with ADHD to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

Most people have been led to believe that ADHD looks like a 9-year-old boy who can’t sit still.

But most people are wrong… Due to the gender gap in medical research that perpetuates these myths, many ADHD women are left to navigate a society that fails to understand their struggles and gifts.

By dismantling the long-standing stereotypes and misinformation surrounding women with ADHD, Otsuka offers a beacon of hope for any woman looking to transform her symptoms into strengths. Comprehensive, lively, and long overdue, ADHD for Smart Ass Women is the key to unlocking unparalleled potential and to understanding your truly magnifi­cent and brilliant brain.

Drawing on their often-hilarious insights and the expertise of ADHD doctors, researchers, and specialists; Kim and Penn Holderness provide fun, easy-to-digest advice and explanations, including:

• What it’s actually like to live with an ADHD brain.
• How to find humor in the pitfalls, sob stories, and unbelievable triumphs (like the time they won The Amazing Race!) that come with ADHD.
• How to tackle the challenges ADHD presents with a positive outlook.
• Targeted tools and techniques to play to your unique strengths.
• Fun extras like ADHD Bingo, an ode to cargo pants, and what the world would look like if ADHDers were in charge.

Take it from Penn: Having ADHD can be scary, but it comes with incredible upsides, including creativity, hyperfocus, and energy. You might even say it’s kind of awesome. Whether you have ADHD or want to support someone else in their journey, this is the guide you need to make the life you want.

Diagnosed with ADHD at age 12, Jessica McCabe struggled with a brain that she didn’t understand. She lost things constantly, couldn’t finish projects, and felt like she was putting more effort in than everyone around her while falling further and further behind. At thirty-two years old — broke, divorced, and living with her mom — Jessica decided to look more deeply into her ADHD challenges. She reached out to experts, devoured articles, and shared her discoveries on YouTube.

In How to ADHD, Jessica reveals the tools that have changed her life while offering an unflinching look at the realities of living with ADHD. The key to navigating a world not built for the neurodivergent brain, she discovered, isn’t to fix or fight against its natural tendencies but to understand and work with them. She explains how ADHD affects everyday life, covering executive function impairments, rejection sensitivity, difficulties with attention regulation, and more.

Consistent routines for morning, homework, dinner, and bedtime build good habits, introduce structure, and improve behavior in children and teens with ADHD. However, too often, caregivers start implementing a routine only to give up on it after a few weeks because their kids resist or it just seems too difficult to follow.

A Parent’s Guide to Executing Effective Routines describes where routines typically break down and provides solutions for getting ADHD families back on track. Sample schedules will help you build a routine that your family will want to follow.

In its 145+ pages, A Parent’s Guide to Executing Effective Routines details expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

• How routines and rituals benefit ADHD brains
• Why routines fizzle — and how to rekindle them
