Hello, Ortando again. This entry is to announce the first of the Ortando Tribal Counsels to begin in Oregon. The group actually will begin with an informational session about ADHD/LD and how to access services. The actual Tribal Counsel will follow for 3 weekly sessions after that. The goals are to help individuals with AD/HD/LD to "learn how to be". Discussions are planned about Tribal protocols, then about cognitions, emotions and behaviors associated with successful living, with embracing one's AD/HD/LD. Probably as inportant as the information exchanged in the Counsel is the "emotional intelligence" training that will be part of the objectives of the group. The "Tribal Elders", those older experienced members with AD/HD/LD will offer their ideas and wisdom about how to be emotionally regulated in the light of having brains with AD/HD/LD toward reasonable and rational goals developed in one's enlightened self-interet. Projects for enhancing the lives of others will be part of the planning effort.
If there are any of you who would like to contribute thoughts, emotional content or behaviroal strategies to assist this effort please feel free to do so in reply to this blog. Ortando's Thoughts will keep you informed of progress and the learning curve associated with the Counsel. Remember, YOU can learn "How to Be" and you are alright. Ortando
