About this event

Are you often caught in a haze of distraction or find it hard to maintain focus? Join our Head of Community, Nat Hawley, for an insightful webinar titled "Could You Have Predominantly Inattentive ADHD? Decoding the Signs," brought to you by Exceptional Individuals. This session aims to shed light on the lesser-discussed subtype of ADHD - Predominantly Inattentive ADHD. It's an opportunity to learn about its specific symptoms, challenges, and effective coping mechanisms.
