We are so much more than just a label, just like a child with ADHD is never just an ADHD child. Labels often force us to interpret and define our students' behaviors through the narrow lens of the dominant culture. A culture that promotes conformity and places blame on the individual when they cannot or will not comply with its expectations. Drawing from her lived experience and expertise as an educational consultant and host of the Neurodivergent Narratives Podcast, Sandra Coral offers educators a valuable resource that will help broaden their understanding of students with ADHD. It's not just a book about ADHD symptoms, strategies, and accommodations, either. It's so much more than that, much like the ADHD children you know, care about, and work with every day.
