Summary:

The aim of the project is to increase knowledge in the field of attention deficit disorders in students and to provide both parents and teachers with a suitable manual to help students overcome learning difficulties, find suitable sources of strength, organize free time and thus achieve greater independence. Due to the overburdened student counseling system, the current wait time at the counseling center is 1 to 2 years. There are no manuals that address the issue of attention deficit disorder holistically. In the handbook, on the one hand, by presenting attention deficit disorder, causes and signs, we also want to present the personal stories of parents, teachers and experts about their experiences. This will contribute to more knowledge and a more inclusive environment for diversity. Because we will be working with a publisher, students will have the opportunity to learn about the entire process of publishing - from ideation to content to writing to the publication itself. The work of the mentors will be to provide guidance and ongoing support in the creation of the material, concern for appropriate guidance and support in conducting conversations and gathering experiences from people who have faced attention deficit disorder.

By increasing the knowledge of both teachers and parents, we will contribute to a more appropriate treatment of children and adolescents with ADHD and to the acceptance of their differences.
