I am a graduating senior at Pacific University, majoring in Psychology and minoring in Anthropology. My focus has been on cognitive psychology and child development, and I hope to work with children after I graduate. This project means a lot to me, as I have personal relationships with several people who have been diagnosed with ADHD. I believe the disorder is misunderstood and heavily stigmatized, so my hope is that this project can not only offer some tools to those who are diagnosed but also bring some awareness to people who may not have a complete understanding of ADHD. I encourage readers to take an introspective look at the language they use with others and with themselves, as I believe this is where real change in perspective starts. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments about this project at krec0111@pacificu.edu.
