Managing the Gift : Alternative Approaches for Attention Deficit Disorder

Join Jacqueline Foreman and Dr. Kevin Ross Emery as the discuss ADD and his book Managing the Gift : Alternative Approaches for Attention Deficit Disorder. The A.D.D. impacted person is part of the evolutionary process of humanity. It is time to acknowledge that these people have many gifts and insights that can help us move more clearly into the 21st century. They possess a kind of intelligence that allows them to go where we have never gone before. What is our reaction? We complain that they are inconvenient - that they do not "fit in the box." We often decide that the best option is to medicate and try to forget them. Well, change is long over due…and many of our institutions and paradigms will need to shift in the process. That, too, is long overdue. Managing the Gift provides an opportunity to truly understand this thing we call A.D.D. and how to utilize the gifts that accompany it.
