'We did not fear the ADHD label. Following my daughter’s assessment at age 18, we were desperate for answers. What we found was even better — an understanding of how her brain works, and the confidence to know that incorrect labels can be removed.' vizyul
On the heels of our daughter Laila’s graduation from high school , I found the leading learning disability practice in our area and sent Laila for an eight-hour behavioral assessment.
The very first finding was that Laila had no idea her brain worked differently than 80% of the population. Another light bulb moment., I talked about the Pareto Principal and how a colleague of mine in education explained that 20% of people learn differently. Like Laila, those in the 20% rarely realize their brain is wired differently — expanding the divide of understanding even further and making them feel they’ve somehow failed.
Unfortunately, there’s a barrier to the assessment for a lot of people — and that barrier is price. The assessment cost $2,500 without counseling. If recognizing the problem is barrier No. 1, the cost of entry is barrier No. 2.What if the 80% shouldered some responsibility? This group oftentimes mistakenly labels the 20% without hesitation, which does nothing but exacerbate the problem.
