Parent of 9-year-old
"This is going to be a lifeline for us. While we’re still on the ADHD assessment waiting list, we can't wait to use the resources to give us the confidence to support our child right now, instead of feeling stuck and helpless."
Adult awaiting ADHD assessment
"I met Alison and Sharon
at a recent event and I
finally felt understood, they made me feel as though
I’ve got options.
I'm looking for resources that are clear, practical, and don’t make me feel like I’m failing."
Adult
"Practical, compassionate, and realistic. That’s how I’d describe what I've seen so far. It meets you exactly where you are."
