When I was in grade school, I struggled to navigate my school work and advocate for myself because I have ADHD.

I never thought I would be a teacher, but the experience I have gained while doing my placement hours has made me see that I can make a difference.– Anthony R., EEAP Graduate Learn more about the Program
