Elaine TK- Elaine is a magical human being. Our connection about play has come through the walls during separate presentations, and later in a collaborative project about the impact of play on ADHD. In this interview it was about getting down and dirty- on the floor- and talking about play.

In 2013 Jerry was the headliner for the ADDA conference in Detroit.  Jerry played with me- on his guitar and in conversation.  While it was hard to get him to stay on topic, once he started playing, he was fully focused.

Kevin Roberts is hilarious. talented and passionate about ADHD.  In 2013 I first met and interviewed Kevin at the ADDA conference in Detroit.  The conversation and entertainment value is priceless.

NBA star, Swen Nater, talks about UCLA Coach John Wooden’s philosophy on teaching.  Swen offers insight into how coach Wooden applied theories of learning to engage his players, effectively make corrections, and produce a team of motivated and successful players.  Swen and Kirsten give examples of learning strategies that work on and off the court.  They also talk about the reason that players with ADHD don’t need Ritalin on the court- even though they are in a learning environment.

Attention Coach, Jeff Copper talks with us about the types of support and accommodations that can lead to a higher level of success for someone with learning differences. Sadly, in the absence of these types of scaffolding, success can be difficult and even elusive. Understanding and support from those close to us can make all the difference in the world when this happens.

Learning is not a matter of will.  It takes the right environment, motivation, interest, and communication to teach someone so that they can learn.  On this episode of Your ADHD Life my guest, Brendan Mahan offers some tips for students who are struggling to learn.  Kirsten talks about her experience of learning new material as an adult (not grownup) with ADHD. We discuss the internal and relational barriers to learning and how to get past these.  Brendan also gives insight into how ADHD coaching works.
