A life with ADHD

From childhood to adulthood, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is something people live with their whole lives. Although many people may focus on medicating ADHD in school-age children, that approach ignores how children and adults with ADHD form, navigate, or struggle with social relationships in school and the workplace.

 For ADHD Awareness Month, CIHR-funded researchers are available to discuss their research on how children with ADHD can develop interpersonal skills, and how ADHD might impact employees in the workplace.

• Sébastien Normand can discuss his recent project Parental Friendship Coaching which aims to help children with ADHD develop good social skills and habits.
• Chloé Voyer is available to discuss her graduate research on the strengths and challenges unique to employees with ADHD in the workplace.
