School ADHD Resource Kits are now available.

Whole Child Wellness is supporting our kids, and the local school system, by providing ADHD Resource Kits to Elementary Schools.  These kits contain great resources for teachers and parents, to help them understand the ADHD brain and give them tools and techniques to enhance learning.  The exercises contained in these kits are great for all learners, not just those with neurobehavioral disorders, and our hope is that teachers will implement a few of these techniques in their classrooms every day.

Some of the items contained in each kit:
"Disconnected Kids"- written by the founder of The Brain Balance Center. (This book is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning more about brain balancing.)
Cross-body movement exercises to improve reading skills.
Explanation of right and left brain functions.
Easy tests to determine lateral dominance.
Behavioral and learning evaluations.
Cognitive exercises to improve logic, reasoning, calculation and planning.
Eye tracking exercises to help with tracking words while reading.
Nutritional evaluation sheets to help determine food intolerance's.
Sensory stimulation to promote right or left brain function.
Lot's of literature explaining why the ADHD brain learns differently.
E.O.G. brain boosting exercises........and much, much more!

Ask your child's teacher if they have an ADHD Resource Kit and if they are implementing it in the classroom.  If your school does not have a kit and is interested in receiving one, please contact us at staff.drflemming@embarqmail.com .
