Simply ADHD

Barbara was an incredibly knowledgeable teacher and I feel very lucky to have started the program with her.

This class gave me passion for living & I can't wait to help others.

This class most definitely ignited a similar passion and enthusiasm in myself that I know will last for a lifetime of coaching. Thank you for getting me started on the right foot.

The most important takeaway for me is that language matters, especially to work with ADHD individuals. This course helped me to be empathetic & contributed to my understanding of the brain difference between ADHD individuals and neuro typicals.

Barbara, I can't thank you enough for the enthusiastic, passionate & kind way you showed up each week. You led us through what has been a truly transformational, six weeks. I can't wait to see what PT brings.

The models ADDCA created and their generosity in sharing their expertise shone through. The study group was amazing and helped a lot with the assimilation of reading. Loved Barbara’s facilitation style and insights and breath of knowledge. Any query I had was dealt with so swiftly. 

It is packed with research-backed insights & takes a much-needed strengths approach to understanding and managing the impact of ADHD in all aspects of life. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable & welcoming, which has  made me feel at home in a supportive community.

I had become less and less social because I didn’t feel like I was understood, and this class was welcoming and inclusive. I knew I was in the right place when everyone introduced themselves in the first session. I have been searching a long time, and ADDCA has become my most valuable resource, pulling my fragmented attempts of learning on my own into one place.

 I feel empowered and very excited about the next phase of my journey. I thank Barbara and ADDCA for an extraordinary experience!!

It made me realize a lot about myself and why I do the things I do. The course re-enforced my desire to change how ADHD is approached in the school system and spread knowledge to decrease ignorance about ADHD. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to know more about ADHD, especially teachers and parents. It was an awesome experience and I am really looking forward to continuing.

 I highly recommend this program for a trainee coach.

The material provides an introduction to a broad range of topics around ADHD, with an emphasis on seeing clearly and without judgement. The major traits (Impulsivity, Time Insensitivity, etc) are clearly explained and good examples are provided (always helpful!). Our leader, Barbara Luther, led us through the material with a balance of grace and humor, always grounded by her deep knowledge of all areas of the subject. 

 At the same time it put a light over the challenges I did not know about my ADD, and how it impacted my life. For me receiving all this knowledge was quite a courageous step toward a better future.  I did not know that the paradox of ADHD could make such a good, and bad, impact in my life.

I’m really fascinated with what I learned and grateful for this opportunity.  I hope to make my way into professional coaching and help adults in Brazil to manage and discover new opportunities and hope in theirs lives.

It hasn't been easy but I have loved being able to dig deep and uncover the stories beneath the symptoms that have been holding me back. I look forward to continuing on to basic coaching and becoming a coach.

I am deeply grateful to Barbara Luther and the ADD Academy.

This course was excellent. I learned so much about ADD. The material is outstanding and the facilitators are extraordinarily personable and knowledgeable. I now understand my husband and his ADD at a level I didn't before. I have much more compassion and I am more equipped as a coach with this knowledge. I look forward to completing the whole curriculum. 

I have only met one of my classmates in person, but I have met 14 professional friends for a life time. A totally outstanding experience. Great Job ADDCA Staff

The instructor, Barbara Luther was extremely knowledgeable as she guided us through the course. I feel prepared and ready for the next course!

Unforgettable experience, which with the help of our skilled and highly empathic teachers, made me want to go into coaching even more. Thank you!

The Simply ADHD course far exceeded all my expectations.

Our instructor was very engaging and so passionate about the topics she taught us. She kept a perfect balance during class - going though the course material, sharing anecdotes, asking questions as well as answering any questions that we had.

I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge in such a short space of time, and that is due to the instructor having a genuine passion about teaching others about ADHD, as well as the course material, which is comprehensive, informative and based on facts, not fiction. 

Simply ADHD was such an eye opener for me. I wanted to know why my ADHD medication was helping me and more about ADHD. I felt supported while I learned about myself and was so impressed with the entire staff at ADDCA. I called and talked to three different people before I decided to register and then they walked me through registration and what to expect three different occasions because I needed it multiple times! You guys are so great!

Thanks for the amazing collection of Neuroscience Articles and websites showing scholarly research with up to date pertinent information about the unique ADHD mind wiring and strategies that support success while living with ADHD. I learned something in each class and loved the discussions! My biggest takeaway is the value of Self Compassion. I am excited about the next course.

Applying what I learnt in Simply ADHD has made a huge difference to my life and how I perceive and interact with people with ADHD. I strongly recommend this course for anyone who wants to understand and have a deep appreciation for ADHD.
