ABOUT THE COMEDIANS PHOTO SERIES:

The collection entitled, “The Comedians,” was the brainchild of artist and photographer Limor Garfinkle. Featured within the eye-catching photo series are Tracy Morgan, Jim Gaffigan, Lewis Black, Jim Norton, Judy Gold along with 30 other comics. Each comedian was captured in a surprising and unique scenario that will surely be a conversation starter on the wall of the highest bidder. All prints will be auctioned off to raise funds for the Mount Sinai Division of ADHD and Learning Disorders.

In 2017 the TBS Comedy HUB at the NYCF featured the first annual photo exhibit ‘The Comedians’ and fundraiser for Mount Sinai. To see photos from this event, please visit: https://www.facebook.com/limorgarfinkle/media_set?set=a.10155128659556398&type=3

This is our story... Mom & Son team.. We have been working with ADD & ADHD & Tourettes since Adrian was diagnosed at 4 years old. Just like any concern: nervousness, weight, learning disabilities - you learn how to improve and work with it. I believe my son was never broken, or needed fixing, I believe we both needed to embrace this and be better. This is my class, how I use science, research and essential oils, scents, sounds to help myself and my son.

Only in Downtown Brampton can you experience this!

We are building our network so please share us on Instagram. Twitter & Facebook.

We are excited to partner with Fusion Academy of Columbia to offer the 90-minute talk ADHD in The Workplace. The talk will provide the audience with education about executive functioning skills at work; tips and strategies for managing ADHD at work and improving executive functioning; information about The Americans with Disabilities Act and how this applies at work to individuals with ADHD; career “fit” for people with ADHD; and plenty of time for Q&A with the presenter.

Study Identifies Distinct Origin of ADHD in Children with History of Brain Injury

The results of a recent study indicate that there are two types of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).  

One is known as “developmental ADHD” and is related to genetic factors.

The other appears to be linked to a “mild traumatic brain injury, such as a concussion.”  

Brain trauma such as a concussion is not out of the ordinary with 20 % of teens reporting a “mild traumatic brain injury.”

The study evaluated the “origins” of ADHD in 418 youth aged 8-22.

The results of the study indicate that understanding the source of the brain injury may determine different kinds of treatment.

The WAVE is an annual conference that brings together national and state leaders in education to share knowledge and expertise on best practices, quality instruction, regulations and law requirements. The Wyoming Department of Education is excited to announce this year's collaboration with the University of Wyoming and the Ellbogen Teaching and Learning Symposium fund.

The conference will be kicked off by celebrating the 10-year partnership between Wyoming and Eye to Eye, a not-for-profit organization that advocates support for the full inclusion of people with learning disabilities and ADHD in all aspects of society. Founder, David Flink, along with colleagues, LeDerick Horne and Marcus Sutra, will give a collaborative keynote on "Reframing Learning for a New Generation of Students, Families, & Educators.”

Additional keynote addresses will be heard from Dr. Rosemarie Allen, Assistant Professor in the School of Education at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Dr. Allen's topic will be centered around 'The Disproportionality in Suspensions and Expulsions: Why We Should All Care'. Also, Dr. Jennifer Kurth, Assistant Professor of Special Education at the University of Kansas, will deliver a motivating keynote on “The Evidence for, and Outcomes of, Inclusion Education”. A presentation that will focus on methods of delivering effective, high-quality inclusive services to all learners.

The University of Wyoming in conjunction with the Wyoming Department of Education and the Professional Teaching Standards Board of Wyoming is excited to offer an innovative way for teachers in the state to earn professional development credit. Through the use of emerging technologies, teachers have an opportunity to develop specific skills via the completion of micro-credentials. Micro-credentials are teacher driven, professional development units that offer skill acquisition in smaller chunks. We are inviting 30 educators, who are interested in earning professional development credit-focused specifically on evidence-based practices utilized for students with autism and/or behavioral needs. Your participation will not only earn professional development credits but will guide the development of a statewide micro-credentialing system. If you are interested in enrolling in the micro-credentialing please email Chelsie Oaks at [email protected] for a 50 percent discount code on registration.
