Is ADHD really just about attention and behaviour?
ADHD is not just a behavioural issue—it’s linked to how different brain networks communicate, even at rest. This research offers major implications for how teachers support students in the classroom.
I remember teaching in my London classroom, watching many students with ADHD fidget, tap their pen, stare out the window, and struggle to settle. No amount of behaviour management worked! Now, research confirms what I suspected—ADHD isn’t just about attention; it’s about how the brain connects.
This research focuses on the neurological basis of ADHD.
What does ADHD do to
Awesome read! I was recently diagnosed with adult onset ADHD (I’m 42), after years of challenges, arguments, missed deadlines, and personal letdowns. Now that I am beginning to understand the differences in my mental processing vs. neurotypical processing, I can definitely recognize some of the same issues in my students. I love it when a simple strategy shift can help to create that “light bulb moment” every teacher loves to see! Thanks for a great read!
Really pleased to hear!
