In this eye-opening episode of Navigating Justice, we deep dive into the complex intersection of ADHD awareness and the alarming connection to the school-to-prison pipeline. October is ADHD Awareness Month, and we're shedding light on the challenges faced by individuals with ADHD, particularly within the educational system.

Our guests, experts in ADHD advocacy and education reform, share insights into the unique struggles that individuals with ADHD encounter in schools. We'll explore how undiagnosed or untreated ADHD can lead to academic difficulties, disciplinary issues, and, shockingly, an increased risk of involvement in the criminal justice system.

Through compelling stories and expert analysis, we'll uncover the systemic issues that contribute to the disproportionate representation of individuals with ADHD in the school-to-prison pipeline. From biased disciplinary practices to the lack of support for neurodivergent students, we'll discuss the urgent need for change in our education system.

Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those with ADHD, the importance of early intervention, and actionable steps we can take to break the link between ADHD and the school-to-prison pipeline. Let's amplify awareness, challenge stereotypes, and work together for a more inclusive and supportive educational environment for all.
