Okay, so I introduce today's guest at the end of the show.

Listen in, as Dan Galloway and I co-create my first backwards-style interview! I'll give the credit to ADHD.

DAN'S AWESOME QUOTE:

"Hello! Put some music on...and then I put music on and then immediately I'm into what I need to be doing."

Dan wants folks to understand that ADHD "isn't all bad." He's a professional speaker who usually talks about topics like perseverance and career transitions, but is now ready to launch into the ADHD and neurodiversity space. He's a man on a mission.

He says he's been this way his whole life and wants to share what living with ADHD is like. Hear for yourself as Dan's mind wanders off on tangents, as he says, that's his ADHD is action. I bet you'll agree with him that they're fun and agree with me that he's just as charming as he is engaging.

While schools have been in session for a while now, if you are just now thinking about an IEP for ADHD, that’s okay; it’s never too late to either put one in place or tweak one for enhanced support.

Agnes Green joins me today to talk about Individualized Educational Plans (IEP’s).

As a guide for our conversation we reference an article from ADDitude Magazine, IEP’s and 504’s Explained.

AGGIE'S AWESOME QUOTE:

“I think the best way to have accommodations is to accommodate so that the child can do for themselves.”

IEP for ADHD

As Agnes explains, with ADHD, we need to create our executive function outside of ourselves. An IEP can help do that by requiring specific tools, systems and processes that will help the child in their unique areas of challenge.

She also advises that working closely with your kid’s teacher is perhaps the most important thing you can do.

Tweak It or Change It

An IEP is not set in stone. Certain strategies may not work as well as expected, or better ideas might be

introduced. In addition to the accommodations listed in the IEP, write into the document, “If the student begins to

struggle, the teacher and parent will talk with each other immediately, and the IEP will be adjusted as needed in

between IEP meetings.” ~ Chris Dendy

Agnes can be reached via her website AgnesGreenCoaching.com

Meet the compassionate genius behind the website and podcast Generosity Philosophy and creator of George the Generous Giraffe. Kim Trumbo shares with us her interests, frustrations, and other "works in progress". She also gives us a peek into her world where understanding why she does the things she does, in the way she does them, has been an on-going process for her and her family.

Figuring out how to more effectively communicate with your spouse, when one has ADHD and the other doesn't, requires patience and time. One example among her many engaging stories helps us see how even after being repeatedly told what to do to keep track of her keys, it wasn't until she felt a resonnance with others in the ADHD community that she was able to finally devise her own unique system ... one that, ironically, wasn't much different than that original spouse-suggested one.

As for what we can expect from Kim next, well...one can never be entirely certain, but maybe it'll rhyme with gumbo!
