What Brains Are Saying...
It’s been challenging to find the right resource for my son, who has multiple diagnoses and really complex profile.
This book is that resource!
I have been really nervous about having this conversation with my child – but the language in Our Brains is so positive and simple, it made it easy!
As an ADHDer myself, I appreciated how the book helps us BOTH talk about our brains, so I could share some of my struggles and strategies with my child as well.
I can see us revisiting this conversation over and over – adding to the book as she gets older. Thank you for helping us find the words to talk to her about her unique brain!
Learn About Your Neurotype!
Coming soon!
This section is under construction. It will be available once the book is published to help kids learn more about their unique brains.
