Join us on this episode of Unnoticed ADHD podcast with Dr. Liz Angoff, an educational psychologist based in Emeryville, as we explore comprehensive neuropsych assessments for children and adults. Dr. Angoff's unique approach helps individuals understand their brains to thrive in various aspects of life. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing individual ADHD symptoms over a simple diagnosis and highlights her collaborative assessment process that ensures both parents and children understand ADHD's unique manifestations. Through engaging metaphors and practical strategies, Dr. Angoff transforms potential negative connotations of ADHD into empowering self-awareness.

Learn about common school accommodations, innovative tools like the "wiggle stool," and effective self-advocacy phrases that help neurodivergent kids succeed. Dr. Angoff discusses the importance of early diagnosis and how her workbooks, "The Brain Building Book" and "Brain Building 101," guide children in understanding their brains. Hear her personal stories, including her journey from a passionate teacher to an educational psychologist, and the profound impact of her practices on her own son. This episode is rich with wisdom, compassion, and practical advice for anyone interested in neurodiversity and empowering children with different kinds of brains. Tune in to be inspired by Dr. Angoff's dedication to rewriting narratives and fostering a world where every brain is understood and celebrated.
