Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hey everyone, it's Susan Hoffman Hoffman I'm here today to host Attitude magazine's

EDH experts broadcast got a great topic today I think it's incredibly timely

it is mindfulness in school and I am very

pleased to welcome Elliot Buck who's our speaker today and she will be talking about

how mindfulness including meditation and yoga and other techniques can help create a more focused

learning environment, a more collaborative learning environment, both in school and at home,

especially for children with attention or learning differences, but really for all of us.

She will be focusing primarily on elementary school with some discussion of middle school issues.

Some of the things that we'll be learning about are the

social and the emotional benefits of mindfulness of yoga and

meditation for children with ADHD and also ways that teachers for parents,

caregivers can launch simple engaging practices

to help children with ADHD, both at home and at school.

So let me introduce her today.

She has been teaching in independent schools

for over 20 years.

She's a graduate of Lessing University

and teaches at the moment at Glen Earcourt School

in Beverly, Massachusetts,

where she brings her passion for yoga,

meditation and mindfulness into her second grade classroom.
