About This Seminar
This seminar is designed to answer some basic but important questions educators have about hidden differences. For example, do all energetic children and adolescents have ADHD? Is autism the same as Asperger?
The seminar provides an insight into three different conditions, the overlapping features they display and the positive qualities each provides. Each section is intense and tightly scheduled, with opportunities for questions and a sharing of ideas.
