Original publisher description

ADHD is not laziness. It is not bad behaviour. It is a different operating system schools still misunderstand. In Part 1, Mike speaks with Eliza Dadson about why ADHD remains deeply misread in modern education, how traditional classrooms fail neurodiverse learners, and why movement, emotional safety, creativity, and executive function must become part of the conversation. This episode is essential for teachers, parents, school leaders, and serious educators who want to understand ADHD beyond stereotypes and support learners with clarity, compassion, and practical strategies.
