I’m an ADHD expert. My kid still can’t get help.
Q: What are the main barriers to getting a neuropsych evaluation and an IEP, and how did Rae handle them?
Cost and wait times are the biggest barriers; Rae discusses exploring insurance coverage, wait times, and the emotional calculus of pursuing expensive evaluations.
I’m an ADHD expert. My kid still can’t get help.
Q: How did Rae navigate the process with Alice when there were calls to address behavior instead of learning needs?
Rae explains using her background to push for practical interventions at home and school, while also validating the emotional toll of those moments and recognizing the need for systemic change.
Debbie Reber on homeschooling a neurodivergent kid
Q: Was this something you considered from the start, or did it only come up later as a serious option?
It started as a reluctant idea I fought for years, but after escalating challenges and moving to Amsterdam, I embraced homeschooling as the viable path for my child. This became our first real project together, and it allowed us to design a learning environment that respected my child's needs and our family's reality.
Parenting with ADHD: Balancing chaos and consistency
Q: So Danielle, as you were thinking about having kids, how did ADHD impact the choices you made about that process, about embarking on this journey?
She explains that awareness of ADHD and its hereditary nature helped her decide to pursue motherhood on her own, embracing planning strategies to minimize chaos, and choosing environments and routines that felt manageable and supportive for both her and Lumi.
Can AI make life easier for parents of kids with ADHD?
Q: What would you say to a parent like me who is afraid of starting to use AI?
Just try a platform that fits your needs and start small; there are many options, and you can tailor language and outputs to your child, easing into it rather than diving in headfirst.
