ADHD Focus – Social Learning for ADHD Kids with Anna Vagin, PhD

Podcast Episode /

How can kids learn to identify their feelings, and to read social cues to identify how others are feeling? Feelings are facts to the one doing the feeling, and many are uncomfortable or scary; what tools can one use to cope with them?  My guest today is Anna Vagin, PhD, a Speech and Language Pathologist, whose work in the past 30 years has been in the field of social learning. She has developed a process by which kids can learn about emotions – their own and those of others – and how to deal with them.  YouTube videos! Who knew there were good ones out there!

Her website is www.socialtime.org , she is on Twitter  @anna_vagin and her first book is YouCue  FEELINGS, Using Online Videos for Social Learning.

I think you will find this a fascinating topic, one which every parent, child, teacher, and all the rest of us can use to improve our social awareness. Listen and learn !!

ADHD Focus – Women with ADHD with Kathleen Nadeau

Podcast Episode /

Are you a woman with ADHD? Do you know one? You need to listen to this show with Kathleen Nadeau, a psychologist and pioneer in the field of ADHD in women. She began her clinical practice over 30 years ago working with children, then with parents of those children, and then concentrated on the issues faced by women with ADHD. She has written many books on aspects of ADHD and continues her clinical practice at the Chesapeake ADHD Center. We discuss how ADHD in women is often missed in diagnosis and how it affects a woman’s self-esteem and ability to function well in all the arenas of life she is called upon to manage. Dr. Nadeau is in the process of writing a book on Aging with ADHD, and would love to interview women over the age of 60 with ADHD; please contact her through her website www.chesapeakeadd.com.

ADHD Focus – Denise Allan on Organization

Podcast Episode /

Organization – a word that brings a shudder of shame and guilt to all with ADHD. We know we don’t do it well, even though we may have read all kinds of books and tips. There is an approach which holds hope for us, and that is “marginal gains”, progress that comes from making incremental changes.

Organization is not just “arrange the clutter”, it also applies to managing time. That may be the aspect of it that leads to many of the frustrations of ADHD. Simple changes one or two at a time can reduce that frustration quotient significantly.

My guest is Denise Allan, a professional organizer who holds a designation of ADHD Specialist from the National Association of Professional Organizers; she figures 70% or more of her clients have ADHD. Her monthly newsletter can be found at www.simplyexperts.com and on her Facebook page Simplify Experts has a daily tip on organization.
