Understanding ADHD and Neurodiversity

  • (Online) Los Angeles, CA, 90013 United States (map)

Neurodiversity is more than a buzzword—it’s a powerful framework that recognizes and values the natural diversity in how brains work. ADHD is one of many neurodivergent ways of thinking, often misunderstood as simply a deficit in attention or hyperactivity. In reality, ADHD comes with its own strengths, challenges, and unique ways of experiencing the world.

In this workshop, we’ll explore what it means to be neurodivergent, how ADHD fits into the broader concept of neurodiversity, and why shifting from a deficit-based view to a strengths-based perspective is so important. We’ll also discuss practical strategies for managing focus, energy, and executive function, along with ways to create environments that support neurodivergent individuals.

Whether you identify as neurodivergent, suspect you might, or want to better understand and support those who do, this session will provide valuable insights and tools to navigate the world through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.
