We deliver the ADHD science with the compassion of ADHD moms

We are Lori, Katie, & Mallory.

Dr. Lori Long and Dr. Mallory Yee are child psychologists and Katie Severson is a speech-language pathologist. We have spent decades supporting thousands of families navigating ADHD. But we're also moms; some of us raising kids with ADHD and some of us navigating it ourselves...which means we understand both the science and the real-life moments that don't make it into textbooks.

We created ADHD Parenting Together because parents deserve more than information. You deserve connection, trusted guidance, and somewhere to turn as your child grows.
