Second Annual Learning Differences Seminar

The Hamilton Institute Presents its Second Annual Learning Differences Seminar: Film screening of “The Disruptors” and follow-up discussion

“The Disruptors” is being lauded as the first definitive, comprehensive documentary film on ADHD, one of the most commonly diagnosed, and widely misunderstood neurological conditions in the world today.

Over seven million US children, and over 23 million adults are diagnosed with ADHD. “The Disruptors” provides an inside look at five families currently living with this condition. The award-winning film also hears from the nation’s top experts on ADHD, and spotlights a small army of high-profile, game-changing personalities about their ADHD, as they testify to the challenges as well as the “super skills” they have leveraged to achieve great success.

Date, Location, and Cost:

• Thursday, October 19, 2023 at 6pm
• The Whitaker Building (Hamilton) on The Wheeler School’s Providence campus (216 Hope Street)
