Reinventing ADHD in Out-of-School Time
Blackwell, Devan
Afterschool Matters, v32 p18-23 Sum 2020
For young people who exhibit attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits, out-of-school (OST) programming can provide the atmosphere and learning experiences that, by design, sustain attention, engagement, and focus. "Possibility projects" enabled one afterschool practitioner to redefine ADHD in terms of attention-driven, hyperfocus-designed activities suited to the needs of all participants.
