- Separating Attitude from Performance with Michele Monteiro, Special Education TeacherEpisode 3 finds me talking to Michele Monteiro. She's a special education teacher at a school for kids with social, emotional, and other disabilities. Many of her students have ADHD.We talk aobut how students taking, or not taking, their prescribed medication affects both themselves, and their classmates, the importance of letting kids earn back your opinion of them when they mess up, and the transformative power of chef Boyardee and ramen.Side Note:During our conversation, Michele and I express frustration with the the fact thatn not all educators are able to understand/respect the social and emotional challenges of their students. No offense is intended. I’ve worked with a great many teachers and administrators who deeply value social emotional learning. And, given that you’re here, I’m sure you do too.Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the origin episode of ADHD Essentials! I'm your host, Brendan Mahan, M.Ed., M.S. I'm a former teacher and school counselor, turned ADHD coach, speaker and consultant.
In this episode we'll be talking about the plan for the pod, and how it came about. I'll also share some of my credentails, and preview some of the upcoming episodes and guests!
The format is a little different than how the rest of the show's episodes will work. In this one, I'm joined by my friend friend Eric Tivers, host of ADHD reWired. Eric's been encouraging me to do this for sometime, so I couldn't think of anyone better to start out with. In this origin episode, he'll be interviewing me. Moving forward, however, I'll be the one asking the questions.
