ADHD and In-School Suspension Room Innovations

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not so much a deficit of attention but rather a self-regulation issue as we have learned from interviewing Dr. Russell Barkley. Both attention and emotions must be regulated. In this episode, attention and ADHD coach Jeff Copper (http://digcoaching.com) interviews Dr. Melissa Malen on the concept of remodeling suspension rooms where kids with ADHD can go to down-regulate after their behavior problems. The rooms use exercise, yoga, and meditation as a means to help these students focus and be present in the now. If you are a parent, teacher, or coach, this insightful interview is sure to give you something to think about.
