Barbara Luther, MCAC, MCC and Inattentive ADHD

Living with Inattentive ADHD (5036)

ADHD Education

by Barbara Luther, MA, MCAC, MCC: ADDCA Director of Training

I HAVE INATTENTIVE ADHD, and in many ways, I’m a good example of doing well with it. I started college while still in high school, graduated with honors in three years, and got my master’s degree by age twenty-one. After a variety of jobs, I found my calling: teaching. It invited me to be creative, spontaneous, alive, genuine, playful, and vulnerable all at the same time. I’ve been teaching for over thirty years and still love it.

How Intention Supports Our Attention (1555)

ADHD Education | Coach Training

Intention is the reason we are paying attention to what we are paying attention to. Acting on or conveying our purpose reflects who we want to be. Intention strengthens the clarity of how we are using our attention and whether we can - or should - sustain it. If we are paying attention to something that has engaged our interest, our underlying intention will indicate whether that “something” is serving us well or not.

And girls can be quite chameleon-like, especially at school—working hard to go under the radar, to please the teacher and to do what is expected of them.

It All Begins With a Pause (762)

ADHD Education

Events don't always create the circumstances in your life. It's how you respond to the events which can make or break your ability to grow into a stronger human being. Whenever I feel some gut-wrenching feeling in my stomach, I've learned to pause and distance myself from whatever is happening in the moment. I become my own witness and ask myself: “What is really going on here?"

David Giwerc & Attention Talk Radio
ADHD Education

This audio recording is unprecedented and is an absolute must-listen, whether you are the parent or the young adult child who is taking ADHD stimulant medication.

Host Jeff Copper, from Attention Talk Radio, masterfully interviews a young adult college student who was arrested for drug diversion, classified as the illegal distribution of a prescription medication.

This young man courageously reveals his horrific experience for the purpose of preventing it from happening to another human being. This interview will leave you spellbound and in total disbelief that this could happen to any one of your kids.
