ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - is one of the childhood disorders becoming more and more common in recent years.

The defining characteristics of ADHD are difficulty keeping focus and attention, hyperactivity, and difficulty in controlling the different behaviors.

In this mix of serious topics and humour, Becky Bexley is in her second year of university, at the age when most children are just starting secondary school. She does voluntary work for a new blind student called Barbara who needs people to read her study material to her. They strike up a friendship, often have a laugh together, and Becky meets her brother and some of her disabled friends. They all tell her about their experiences of living with disabilities, a few of them amusing.

While most teens deal with learning, social difficulties, and domestic challenges, ADHD can make these challenges more difficult to handle or worsen. It’s, therefore, crucial to support children and teens with ADHD develop the skillsets that will help them achieve their life goals and aspiration. Suppose your teen has been diagnosed with ADHD, and it affects their academic performance. In that case, they might be eligible for classroom concessions, including additional exam time, extra teaching sessions, or any other support that will help them realise their goals.

"Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt." - Ludwig Wittgenstein. Diese Aussage macht klar: Die Sprache beeinflusst alles! Die Noten, die Freundschaften, den sozialen Status und später den Beruf. Gezielte Sprachförderung für Kinder: Defizite sofort erkennen und Stärken spielerisch fördern. Der Bundesverband für Logopädie warnt: Verzögerungen bei der Sprachentwicklung werden oft viel zu spät erkannt. Dabei sind bis zu 35% der Kinder betroffen.
