Making Your Classes ADHD-Aware: Simple Tips for Inclusion

The number of people with ADHD is estimated to be approximately 7% of the population, and many may actually be high achievers. As someone living with ADHD, teaching and learning languages, I have a useful perspective. In this pecha kucha, I will give an overview of problems that learners with ADHD face in their language learning (such as working memory, executive function) and how to make classrooms (virtual and physical) more inclusive for learners with ADHD (not simply breaks). The added bonus is it makes it better for everyone else. After the pecha kucha, I would like the opportunity for a Q&A. ** Part of the Pecha Kucha Extravaganza; each pecha kucha is just under 7 minutes long (20 slides at 20 seconds per slide).
