The Podcast
Raising ADHD
Real Talk for Parents & Educators
Ever feel like you're the only one struggling this hard?
You're not. You're just surrounded by people who won't say it out loud.
This is the podcast where we finally do. A child psychiatrist and an educator — who also happen to be ADHD parents — share the strategies that actually work, the science that finally makes sense, and the permission to stop blaming yourself.
New episodes weekly. No judgment. Just real help.

...and so much more. New episodes every week.

I binge listened to every episode of this podcast available so far, and think that every parent and teacher who is raising or teaching children with ADHD should listen to this podcast. Apryl and Brian share practical strategies that can be implemented fairly quickly to help kids be more successful. I appreciate how Apryl has the perspective of raising kids with ADHD but also was a teacher so she understands both sides and the challenges that exist for both. Brian adds the knowledge and expertise from a medical perspective. They are a powerful duo and I highly recommend this podcast."
