ADHD TV - The First Video Podcast On ADD/ADHD
I am very excited to announce that ADHD TV has just launched.
This is the first video podcast on ADD and ADHD on the web.
As your host, I will be publishing a weekly video show online about ADD and ADHD. ADHD TV aims to share all aspects of ADD and ADHD for you to learn all that you need to know. Episodes will generally be 10-15 minutes long.
It’s free; it’s delivered completely online; and it’s a video podcast.
The first episode is online right now.
What is a Podcast?
You care read about podasts on wikipedia here.
The ‘bottom line’ of a podcast is that you can subscribe to the podcast, and then new episodes will be downloaded automatically through software like itunes - and you can even set it up to download directly to your ipod or iphone.
To watch the first episode, please visit: www.ADHD.tv
And please share your feedback - I want to meet your needs!
Best,
Dr. Kenny Handelman
p.s. please share this with your friends and family who want to learn more about ADD and ADHD!

Is anybody looking at AD/HD purely from a developmenta perspective? From guiding and supporting the learning of how to manage the spead of the mind; how to focus attention (without energy consuming concentration); learning missing life concepts; and even coaching?
My experience of working with people who suffer from the negative aspects of dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia as well as AD/HD is that these characteristics rarely come alone - that they are closely related. Learning how to use the mind (different way of thinking, not something broken or not working) is pivotal to reducing and potentially overcoming the problems in any or all of these areas.
Ironically, the ‘experts’ accross the globe insist that it cant be cured. What they don’t seem to be able to get the handle on is that it is not something that NEEDS CURING!. If their understanding were truly the case, I’d like to see them produce a drug or elaborate software etc to cure most people’s comparative inability to capitalise on thinking in and learningnby sensory, musical and artistic means. And no, I’m not thinking of halucinary drugs to promote the ability to visualise.
If only these experts could ’see’ the different way of thinking they would begin to recognise and then understand that it is different and that different is not wrong or bad. Different is different, just the same as apple and orange are different, but they are still nourishing fruits.
What I also would like to see is promotion of the positive characteristics - running your own business for instance takes loads of energy and sustainability, maybe too the reduced ability to form energy expenditure habits like needing to sleep at a certain time. Who’s most likely to have that, an evergy-average person or one with loads of energy?

At The Drive of Progress Foundation, we are developing just that Anna. A college level learning environment designed specifically for people with ADHD, Dyslexia, and related conditions. We hope to then use what we learn from that to develop K-12 alternative methods that basically prepare students to attend our University. Our system will be designed to direct student’s exploration of their personal interests in a way that will empower them to be independent and even form businesses and organizations. There will be no grades or specified subjectes of study, but rather we will focus on exercises in organizing people, Ideas, and integrating everything they do into the economic system. Everyone will learn about business, finance, management, and collaboration, while exploring their own intrests in the form of projects and reviewing each other’s progress.
