Shining at school

School isn’t hard because of ADHD. It’s hard because
most ADHD kids don’t have the right support.
School isn’t hard because of ADHD. It’s hard because most ADHD kids don’t have the right support.
ADHD is real. And so are the executive functioning challenges your child faces.
Kids with diagnoses are legally entitled to the school support proven to help them shine.
And kids struggling at school deserve the testing and evaluations that lead to a diagnosis and support.
So it’s easy for ADHD kids to be seen as "disruptive", "lazy" or "bad" when the problem isn't them—but the lack of the right support. This narrative can be hard on us, and even harder on them.
Most schools aren't built with neurodivergent brains in mind.
Ready for a change?
Here's the hard truth
As ADHD professionals, we’ve seen what the right support can do for our kind, funny, capable kids with ADHD. We know how bright they can shine!
But accessing school support can be hard. Especially when the school doesn’t understand ADHD.
