About this Event
ADHD & Executive Function
ADHD is often misunderstood.
It is not simply a problem of attention or effort — it is a difference in how the brain manages executive function: the skills that help us plan, organise, regulate emotions and follow through on tasks.
This session aims to change the narrative.
Rather than being a traditional lecture, this will be an interactive experience, giving you the opportunity to explore your own understanding, challenge assumptions and see ADHD from a new perspective.
What You’ll Experience
During the session, you will:
- Take part in interactive discussions about what ADHD and executive function mean
- Explore common misconceptions in a safe, non-judgemental space
- Learn how ADHD relates to performance, not just knowledge
- Gain insight into executive function and how it impacts everyday life
- Experience practical demonstrations and activities showing how ADHD can affect memory, attention, time perception and task completion
- Understand emotional experiences such as rejection sensitivity and why they may occur
- Gain awareness of wider influences, including biological factors such as hormones
This event marks the launch of Lily of the Valley, a coaching, education and healthcare service focused on supporting individuals, families and organisations to better understand neurodiversity.
