How to ADHD Youtube Channel
Have ADHD? Know someone with ADHD? Want to learn more? See the video below.
This channel is Jessica's ADHD toolbox -- a place to keep all the strategies she has learned about having and living with ADHD. It's also grown into an amazing community of brains (and hearts!) who support and help each other. Anyone looking to learn more about ADHD is welcome here!
In this video she discusses the Office for Civil Rights Dear Colleague Letter and ADHD Resource Guide in a very entertaining and user friendly way.
