Investigating ADHD with Detectives Ruben and Elena
Dear Reader, We have ADHD and our assignment is to find out all about ADHD and how it affects children. But we need an assistant who also has ADHD to help. Is that you?
Our Assignment
Some people don’t understand what ADHD is. When you learn what ADHD is, then you might say “that sounds just like me” or “I do that!”. It might help you to understand that some of your actions are linked to your ADHD.
Our assignment is to learn all about ADHD but it's also about learning about you, what you are good at and what you might find difficult. Remember, no one is perfect, we can all improve in something. The important message is to be willing to try.
ADHD is not always easy to understand and can make some things more difficult and other things easy. The good news is that when you understand what it is, you can work out what you can do about it.
A box of clues...
To help us, we have found a box full of clues. These clues will help us to find out about ADHD and how we can manage it for ourselves. Follow the clues to learn more and have a go at the fun activities along the way.
