In just one hour, I feel like I gained a broader and deeper understanding of ADHD than I had in all the reading I had done prior. I highly recommend this talk for anyone looking to better understand ADHD."
~ Audience member, J.V. Fletcher Library, Westford, MA"I recently attended Linda’s ADHD in the Family virtual presentation—she was awesome! I have struggled to understand how my two children operate as both have very different ADHD behaviors. This talk gave great insight into why my 20-year-old does what he does and I'm happy to now have more information and tools to help him. I highly recommend listening to what Linda has to say!"
~ Audience Member, Swampscott Public Library"This is a comprehensive look at every aspect of ADHD. The presentation is visual, well-researched, tight, and flows."
