Matic Novak
Matic Novak is an educator and founder of the Modrih junakov Institute for the Development of ADHD Potential, who himself has ADHD. He emphasizes the need to reframe the understanding of ADHD, arguing that it should not be seen merely as a disorder characterized by a lack of attention but rather as a different way of engaging with attention. In his discussions, he highlights the concept of hyperfocus, where individuals with ADHD can intensely concentrate on a single task to the extent that they lose track of basic needs. Novak advocates for recognizing and understanding ADHD in children, urging parents and educators to observe behavior over time before labeling it as a disorder, and believes that teachers play a crucial role in shaping societal perceptions of ADHD.
