Take Notes with Jen Rafferty Podcast
Leslie was a special guest on the Take Notes with Jen Rafferty podcast to discuss “How does ADHD affect learning in the classroom?” where she shares practical strategies and resources for ADHD in the classroom.
SHOW NOTES:
Students come into our classrooms with a multitude of different needs.
And, oftentimes you get an IEP or a 504- and then it's go time!
Problem is, teachers don’t receive any formal training on how to handle these needs in a way that fully supports the student and helps them flourish.
So, how do we come up with creative ways to teach self-regulation and executive function skills without it leading to frustration?
Welcome to episode 15 of the Take Notes with Jen Rafferty podcast! In this episode, I’m speaking with ADHD-academic and parenting coach, Leslie Josel. She is the founder of Order Out of Chaos, a virtual company whose mission it is to help parents guide their students to success in learning and in life.
Leslie is the creator of the award-winning Academic Planner: A Tool for Time Management®, the author of three books, weekly writer of “Dear ADHD Family Coach®” for ADDitude magazine, (the premier magazine for adults and children with ADHD), and speaks to audiences all over the world on the subject.
In our chat, Leslie describes her own experiences when her son was first diagnosed with ADHD- in a time when there was limited understanding and resources available to families like hers.
She shares how she made it her mission to “untangle” her son's world- and has been dedicated to defining systems and structures that would help other families do the same for the last 19 years.
Today, it’s all about understanding how the ADHD brain functions, and how to encourage purposeful action within your classroom environment.
The principles we discuss today are beneficial to all of us, and move us closer to students engineering their own path to learning.
OUR MISSION
Order Out of Chaos’ mission is to provide hands-on education, guidance, and coaching to parents and their students through our customized products and programs, so all children – both mainstream and with learning difficulties – can develop the necessary skills needed to experience success in learning and in life.
