What others participant say about this course
Jessica Nguyen, Parent & Advocate
18. June, 2025.
As a mom of a teenager recently diagnosed with ADHD, this conference changed everything for us. The sessions were packed with practical strategies I could apply immediately—from handling emotional outbursts to supporting executive function. The peer support group for parents was a safe space I didn't know I needed. For the first time, I felt seen, understood, and empowered to help my child thrive. Thank you to all the organizers and speakers!
Sophie Delacourt, University Student
18. June, 2025.
I joined this conference feeling overwhelmed by school and life with ADHD. I left with a notebook full of tools and a heart full of hope. The small talk, procrastination, and study strategy sessions helped me so much. Hearing from others in similar situations made me feel less alone. I can honestly say this experience was life-changing for me as a student.
Jerome Bell, Corporate Team Leader
18. June, 2025.
I never realized how much undiagnosed ADHD was impacting my career until this conference. The sessions on workplace productivity, ADHD and leadership, and managing anxiety were eye-opening. I’ve since shared insights with my team and started advocating for neurodiverse hiring practices. If you’re a professional navigating ADHD, this is the best investment you’ll make in yourself this year.
Mark Davies, High School Teacher
18. June, 2025.
I’ve attended many professional development events, but nothing as relevant and helpful as this ADHD conference. The educator sessions gave me classroom tools that I’ve already implemented—with amazing results. I also gained a deeper understanding of what my students are going through. This wasn’t just informative, it was transformative. Every educator working with neurodiverse students should take this course.
Dr. Nathan Carter, Psychiatrist
18. June, 2025.
This conference was a brilliant blend of clinical expertise, lived experience, and real-world tools. As a psychiatrist, I especially valued the updates on medication strategies and the impact of hormones on ADHD. But beyond that, I walked away with more empathy and insight into my patients' daily struggles. The accessibility of the platform and depth of the content made it an outstanding experience.
Alicia Romero, ADHD Coach
18. June, 2025.
The depth and quality of information in this year’s conference blew me away. From Penn Holderness’ keynote to the discussions on emotional regulation, sleep, and executive function—every session added tools to my coaching practice. I also appreciated the diversity of speakers and perspectives. The community energy was strong, even online. This was the most comprehensive ADHD event I've ever attended.
