The workshop starts with a short interactive introduction to the topic (What is ADHD? How does it manifest? What is happening inside the brain?) including three questions designed to stimulate discussions. Afterwards two tests will simulate two conditions common for individuals affected by ADHD: overstimulation and hyperfocus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THIS WORKSHOP IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING ANYMORE<\/strong>.
