Defeating the Demons of Distraction (re: ADD)
At noon on Wednesday, September 19th, there was a presentation on ADD and how to conquer its "demons." Stuart Segal, a psychologist who works in the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities introduced the speaker Geraldine Markel, Ph.D. Of note, the Michigan Union allowed a room change for the overflow crowd--not even standing room was available when the talk started. We were informed that the previous audience for this topic, some time ago, had consisted of only 4 people and now, thanks to excellent publicity, there were hundreds of interested people gathered to hear this same speaker on this same topic. We were actually too late to receive any handouts, but there is some information on Dr. Markel's web site (http://www.managingyourmind.com/), and she has written a book (co-authored with Dr. Judity Greenbaum) called "Finding Your Focus: Practical Strategies for the Everyday Challenges Facing Adults with ADD."
