ADHD is a neuro-biological condition that is often also defined as an executive functioning impairment. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) talks with Master Coach Elaine Taylor-Klaus (https://impactparents.com) to discuss ADHD from a rather mechanical, engineering perspective. There's an old saying: You can impact change when you understand what's going on underneath. This episode will look at ADHD as a problem-solving impairment, and explore its relationship with emotions and the automatic brain. It promises to illuminate insights about what underlies ADHD, insights that might seem unfamiliar, but logically, make sense in managing ADHD. If you've struggled to find what works, this is a show you won't want to miss. (To see the Executive Function Engagement Continuum discussed in this episode, click here.)
