Managing the Gifts of ADD/HD: Breaking the Disability Myth

Is ADD/HD really a disability?  How much of what we are told has been spun to support a medical/drug model?  Why is the functioning, empowered ADD/HD individual threatening to our current power structure?  
Dr. Kevin Emery, Author, ADHD Expert for over 40 Years, Poster Child 
Dr. Kevin Ross Emery; ADD/HD Expert, Thought Leader, Innovator and Catalyst

Over the last forty years, Dr. Kevin has been an innovator in both the business and private sectors.  He introduced the importance of formalized training for all levels of employees and implemented formalized training systems in diverse industries such as hospitality, financial services, retail, and education.  He also created communication programs and critical thinking-based management development programs in the personal growth, human potential, and alternative health fields. He was one of the first to introduce coaching into his practice, fusing it together with the more traditional approach of counseling to leverage the benefits of both in his unique practical approach.  He is familiar with both Eastern and Western philosophies and healing systems and has assimilated elements from both into his methods.  

Throughout his career, Dr. Kevin has learned a great deal from his personal experience with ADD/HD, and he works to expand the understanding of this gift.  Dr. Kevin works with ADD/HD on many fronts and has years of experience finding solutions.  He has led children and parent groups to better understand and self-manage their ADD/HD gifts, and taught Continuing Educational Credit Courses for teachers and counselors.

Dr. Kevin has also worked with adults in areas of their personal and professional life and development, bringing his experience to help them make the best of their potential.  Through Managing The Gift Business Consulting he and his team also specialize in helping ADD/HD business owners and key personnel achieve their professional potential. 

His groundbreaking book Managing the Gift: Alternative Approaches for Attention Deficit Disorder introduced the idea of ADD/HD as an evolutionary process, not a disability.   Dr. Kevin continues to spread his message around the world as an author, Catalyst, teacher, and speaker. Dr. Kevin has also created daily practices that can help both children and adults to manage their ADD/HD gifts, which he has released as an audio CD companion to his original trend-setting book.  His other books on this subject include: Managing the Gift of Your ADD/HD Child, Famous People with ADHD: Are You One Waiting to Happen? ADD/HD Evolution, Revolution and Solution for the 21st Century.
