"WHY IS IT HARD TO CONCENTRATE WITH ADHD?"
YOUR CHANCE TO HELP OTHERS UNDERSTAND ADHD
For people with ADHD, distractions can become debilitating and impact everyday tasks many consider straightforward. It is difficult to maintain attention. It's also really difficult to understand why .. and to explain ADHD's impact on us to others who aren’t affected by it.
The next ADHD AWARENESS AFTERNOON seeks to address these challenges. It will be a unique opportunity to not only learn more about ADHD but also contribute to important ADHD research about how we best explain it to others!
Led by Dr ALISON POULTON from Sydney Medical School at the University of Sydney, we will explore how the ADHD mind works, what happens to our concentration minute-by-minute and hour-by-hour plus how this affects our daily functioning.
With limited Australian research into ADHD, this session is an exciting opportunity to be involved in the production of an analogy or illustration that
* people with ADHD can relate to, and
* people who don't have ADHD can better understand
