#41 How to Support Educators with ADHD with Helen Witty

Welcome to the TeachStrong Talks podcast.

In this episode I chat to Helen Witty. Helen is Head of Learning Support and SENDCo at an all-through school. Helen shares openly about having ADHD and is passionate about supporting other neurodivergent educators. She is active on social media and regularly writes blog posts to share information, tips and resources to help others.

This conversation came about because a member of my family, who also has ADHD and is a teacher, suggested that I invite someone on to the show that can offer support and ideas for those who are working in schools and are neurodivergent.

During our conversation we talk about Helen’s passion for supporting adults and children, what ADHD is, how it affects her day-to-day and the advice she’d offer anyone with ADHD, anyone that recognises symptoms of ADHD in themselves, and more broadly including anyone who works in a school.

Enjoy the episode.
