Speaker: Stephen ChallenBIO: Steve was first diagnosed at the age of 13 with a condition they called "Food Related Hypersensitivity Disease", which was later combined with other condition titles into a new title of ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder). He has personal experience with coexisting conditions such as Tourette's Syndrome, OCD, ODD, Dyslexia and more. He has been married to his wife, Madeline, for 28 years and has three girls and a son aged from 16 to 27. They also have two granddaughters and a grandson. His wife suffers from Chiari Type 1 and fibromyalgia, and all four children are in various positions along the diagnosis/treatment for Tourette's Syndrome, OCD, Dyslexia, and Scoliosis. He has been a key speaker for the National Education Union and works tirelessly with families and schools to help improve the outcomes for young people and adults in Essex and across the UK. What do others think of us?Feedback from ADHDers, family members, teachers, LSA and others who attend our meetings is always very positive. Here are just some of the messages of feedback from prior events:<ul><li>Brilliant!</li><li>Was much more informative listening to someone living with the condition than the experts.</li><li>Stephen is excellent - knowledgeable, intelligent, and a sense of humour. I will definitely recommend him and the organisation to schools and parents.</li><li>Very informative, easy to understand, entertaining speaker, some of it was a real eye-opener.</li><li>Great talk from Steve, some interesting and valid scientific and practical evidence. Very informative.</li><li>Very informative and person-friendly</li><li>Wealth of information explained at a high level. Engaging and inspirational.</li><li>Could have listened longer. He was really good and kept my attention all the time</li><li>It was very interesting and I found out information. The speaker was very good to listen to and spoke about his personal experiences which is really good.</li><li>Really enjoyed learning about the scientific elements of the disorder - makes the condition make sense to people, and was interesting to see differences between the neurotypical brain and the ADHD brain.</li><li>Thank you. Stephen was very interesting, and I didn’t realise the connection between ADHD and ASD. It will make me think more about how I help the children in my school.</li></ul>We also wanted to share this feedback: "A number of our teaching staff attended, and we were all very appreciative of your honesty and also highly impressed by what you have achieved. The impact it has had on the staff was so great, management has recognised that ALL the staff need the training to recognise the difficulties and implement strategies into their classroom in order to provide equal educational opportunities to vulnerable learners."
