In Their Shoes: A Guided ADHD Simulation Experience

Presented by Marburn Academy and facilitated by Christine Kotik, Founder of CK ADHD Coaching & Consulting. This immersive and interactive workshop is designed for parents, caregivers, and educators who want to better understand the daily experiences of children with ADHD. Rather than relying on lectures or slides, this session uses hands-on simulations to help participants feel what it’s like to struggle with attention, memory, impulse control, time awareness, and sensory overload. Through a series of hands-on activities, participants gain a deeper understanding of how certain challenges can impact behavior, learning, and everyday interactions. Rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses, this experience is designed to build empathy and offer a fresh perspective. Attendees leave with greater insight into what might be driving a child’s actions—and practical ideas for offering support in more effective and compassionate ways. Whether you work in a classroom or are parenting a child with ADHD, this experience offers a powerful and practical way to build connection, reduce frustration, and support kids in ways that actually work.
