If you have a child, teen, college student, or are a young adult with ADHD, ADD, LD, and are looking for a strength-based approach to dealing with ADHD, you have come to the right place! The more students or young adults can build on their strengths and develop strategies to support their weaknesses, whether they are Executive Functioning Skills, Social Skills, and/or other areas of weakness, the more they can be successful in school and in life.

Additionally, understanding how ADHD impacts a person and their family, both positively and negatively can shed light on the type of environment conducive to supporting someone with ADHD, ADD or LD.
