What is ADHD?
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.
This can affect a learner’s attention, impulse control, focus and activity levels because of differences in the way the brain processes information.
This can lead to difficulties because a learner has to continuously hide their true personality and pretend that they are coping when in reality, they are struggling.
It can impact everything, including work, study, time management and relationships.
When a learner or their family and friends are unaware of their daily problems, it can lead to loneliness and severe mental challenges such as low confidence, anxiety, stress and tiredness.
However, at The Learning Compass, we understand that every learner with ADHD has unique strengths and can thrive when given the right working conditions and equal opportunities.
