Learning to code with ADHD ðŸ§
Individuals with ADHD have difficulties with maintaining attention,
executive function and working memory. Recently, deficits in executive
function have emerged as key factors affecting academic and career
success. Executive function is the brains ability to prioritize and
manage thoughts and actions. Individuals who have issues with executive
functioning may have difficulties completing tasks or may forget
important things.
The structure of SheCodes courses is ideal for anyone with ADHD wanting
to learn front-end web development. The lessons are on average, no more
than 10minutes long with a fun and challenging practical challenge
afterwards. Each week you are given homework which emcompasses all the
skills you have learned that week. Additional self-learning is required
which is a fantastic skill to learn effectively, in preparation for the
working environment within web development spaces.
