To provide an updated look at what ADHD REALLY is - the science behind the condition, busting the myths and looking at why the strategies you're using aren't working. Having fought the system to have a child recognised when the professionals were saying it was hormones and anxiety, facing the horrors that followed, to then see them ace their GCSEs after 3 months of medication , gaining 2 grades in everything and nearly 3 in others I want to equip you with the same knowledge to fight for your students.

Let's turn attention seeking into meeting a need, rude into struggling and really understand what is going on - they are growing up in a different world to us so we need a different approach.

Having fought the system to have a child recognised when the professionals were saying it was hormones and anxiety, facing the horrors that followed, to then see them ace their GCSEs after 3 months of medication , gaining 2 grades in everything and nearly 3 in others I want to equip you with the same knowledge to fight for your students.
