Who: | Nancy Ratey, EdM, MCC, SCAC |
When one or both partner(s) in a relationship have ADHD, it can lead to challenges above and beyond what other couples experience. ADHD symptoms can often have a negative impact on social skills and relationships. People with ADHD are prone to making impulsive statements which can cause hurt feelings and to interrupting others who are speaking. In this month's Ask the Expert online chat, Nancy Ratey, a nationally recognized ADHD coach, will discuss common difficulties couples who are in this situation often face, and will offer strategies in working together to improve the situation.
