A note from the instructor:
“My name is Kevin Barry and I work with those living with ADHD to understand the challenges of ADHD and how it affects their daily lives.
It has been the greatest honor of my life to walk ADHDers through the process of self-acceptance, establishing a life that is compatible with their ADHD brain, and discovering within themselves the ability to accomplish their goals.
This might sound like the end of the story, but it’s not. As a fellow ADHDer, I am just getting started. And my guess is, so are you.” |
