After being diagnosed with ADHD at 36, Michelle Winters went through all the proper stages of grief: shock, denial, guilt, anger, depression, the upward turn, working through, and acceptance. It was when she entered her upward turn stage that she began her true journey towards acceptance; a journey that led her to write this book.
Driven by her curiosity to understand her new label, she dug past the ADHD myths, stigma and shame to a path of new self-discovery.
Five years later, after innumerable interviews with ADHD children and adults, research, and countless hours of audiobooks, Michelle created this book. A book for ADHD learners BY an ADHD learner and teacher. "Wait Class...What Was Saying?" Teaching with ADHD: Classroom Strategies for ADHD Learners was created to help teachers understand ADHD and its impact on students, provide multiple possible classroom strategies for ADHD learners, provide an easy to use tool and resource for classroom teachers, and, hopefully, encourage less frustrating days with ADHD students.
