Description
As SLP’s, we work with students with many different diagnoses and needs educationally. It is important for us to understand those needs so we can best help them. In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I sat down with Michael McLeod to discuss all things ADHD and executive functioning, as well as how we can help these students in our therapy practice. Michael McLeod is a Speech-Language Pathologist and ADHD/Executive Function Specialist. He is the owner of GrowNOW Therapy in Philadelphia, PA, and the creator of the Internal Language Model for Executive Functions. Michael has traveled internationally training parents and professionals about the ADHD-Language Connection! Research on ADHD is ongoing and we continue to learn more about it all the time. As we get new information, we are seeing that ADHD has a lot to do with our wheelhouse: language. Tune in as Michael shares what ADHD is exactly, the impact it has on self-talk and executive functioning skills, and how we can help our students improve their quality of life by improving their executive functioning skills in speech therapy.
