You're Wrong About ADHD

S1 EP6: Did you find school difficult?

Like many children with undiagnosed ADHD, Sam struggled a lot at school. He was always getting told off for being "loud, silly" and "horribly irritable". Since getting his ADHD diagnosis, Sam has finally been able to make sense of his school days. He's dug out his Year 7 school report to show Katie - and it's made her think about her own school experience.Plus Sam and Katie speak to educational psychologist, Dr Joanne Riordan about how best to support students with ADHD in school.
