Inspirational Quote
“If children can’t learn the way we teach,
then we have to teach the way they learn”
attributed to Robt. Buck, who worked with special needs children with animals 40+ years ago before this has become an accepted and successful form of behavioral health therapy.
Dr. Don Jones, LMHC

“ADHD may be called a disorder, but I believe that someday we will understand it as a gift.”

Mother of four boys
Helene,
In some circles we have to call ADHD a disorder so we can get paid to treat it. There so many gifts our children give to us. They give us a view of the world that we can’t see.
so, praise and affirm the gift and enjoy the journey.
ADD/ADHD has been a disorder for many generations. In this fast paced world - “ADD"ers stand out more than ever. This fast paced world also makes it harder for us to function. Thank goodness that the medical community is beginning to understand this as a true medical disorder.
My quote: “The key to success for ADD/ADHD is to diagnose it, treat it, train it and then embrace it!”
Dawn King
May I quote you when I talk to parents?
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
One of my favorite quotes ! Enjoy !
Absolutely Dr. Don! Please feel free to use my quote in any treatment setting. I hope it is helpful!
ADHD? Yeah, well at least I’ll never be accused of being boring!
