People with ADHD are often acutely aware of their struggles which can ravage self-esteem, so it’s natural to seek ways to feel better about themselves.

In this session, view Ari Tuckman and Jessica McCabe as they integrate the impact of ableism on how disorders are defined, address the risks of toxic positivity, and assist clients to navigate social expectations for performance.
