"🎉 It’s here! ADHD Awareness Month starts TODAY!

This year, we’re celebrating A Community of Support, because ADHD doesn’t happen in isolation. Support shouldn’t either.

All October, CHADD will share reliable information, practical resources, expert guidance, community voices, stories, videos, events, and ways to connect.

💚 Learn something new.
💚 Share something useful.
💚 Find support.
💚 Be part of someone else’s support.

Because awareness matters. What we do with that awareness matters even more.

Welcome to ADHD Awareness Month 2026. Let’s go! 🎉

🧡 It’s ADHD Awareness Month! Let’s GO!

As an educator, wife, and mom of three, my personal and family experiences have shaped my passion for understanding ADHD and helping others see it through a neuroaffirming lens.

This October, I’m kicking things off by sharing some of my favorite ADHD resources. Whether you’re a parent, educator, adult with ADHD, or simply looking to learn more, these are great places to start!

📚 My go-to ADHD resources:

🧡 CHADD: Education, advocacy, and support for children, adults, families, and educators. https://chadd.org/⁠

🧡 Understood: Practical tools and easy-to-understand information for navigating ADHD at home, school, and work. https://www.understood.org/en/topics/adhd⁠

🧡 Child Mind Institute: Expert-backed guidance for parents and educators supporting children with ADHD. https://childmind.org/topics/adhd-attention-problems/⁠

🧡 ADDA: Resources, community, and virtual support groups specifically for adults with ADHD. https://add.org/⁠

But what happens when you have all the info, but don’t know where to start? That’s where I come in!

I’m Lindsey Lipsky, founder of NeuroInclusive Consulting. I work with families navigating ADHD, IEPs, 504 plans, school supports, and everyday challenges. I also partner with schools, camps, and community organizations to provide staff training, coaching, and consultation.

My goal is to help turn awareness into understanding and understanding into practical support 🧡

An older article, but the conversation is just as relevant today!

Curious to hear your thoughts. Calling all families, educators, autistic self-advocates, BCBAs, and service providers!

Has your perspective on ABA changed over the years? What needs to change, and what’s working?

I'd love to hear from all sides. Comment below! 👇

Applied behavioral analysis is the most widely used therapy for autism, but some people say its drills and routines are cruel, and its aims misguided.

As a neurodiversity consultant, I’m always advocating for looking at the whole child, not just the behavior we see on the surface.

That’s why trainings on Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS), developed by Dr. Ross Greene, are a MUST-attend. If we want to truly support kids, we have to get curious about what’s underneath the behavior and focus on solving problems with them, not simply managing them.

Ready for a webinar that will shift your perspective and practices for the better?

Collaborative & Proactive Solutions Live with Dr. Ross Greene is taking place October 8th and 9th!

This practical, LIVE webinar introduces the CPS model, our evidence-based approach focused on solving problems, reducing conflict, and responding proactively.

Day One covers the model, key themes, the ASUP, and solving problems collaboratively with kids.

Day Two goes deeper with video examples, discussion, and Q&A.

Attend either or both days! All registrants receive the recording after the event and will have access for two weeks.

This is amazing! Challenging the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) institution is hard work—and it will continue to be, especially when ABA is still one of the only autism supports consistently covered by insurance.

I’m glad schools recognized decades ago that autistic students needed more specialized support. They learned, listened and took to heart the prevailing messages of the times—which was largely based around extinguishing negative behaviors. And, in keeping up with best practices of the times many districts brought in BCBAs and behavior technicians onsite. For the time, it was ground breaking.

But now? Decades later—when we’ve heard from Autistic voices the harm ABA can cause, the ableism and behaviorism embedded in its practices. The unchecked clinical environments that border on abuse, taking advantage of families who trust these practitioners.

Now is the time to evolve. Not because ABA is inherently bad—because it is not. But because when we know better, we do better.

Autistic voices matter. New research matters. Let’s find more neuroaffirming care and supports for the 1 in 31. Advocacy will make all the difference.

Bravo, Boulder. This is what change can look like. 👏

The Boulder Valley School District implemented what is likely the nation’s first — and only — neurodiversity policy.

“Everyone is welcome” sounds good. But welcome isn’t something an organization can simply declare. It’s something people have to experience.

Real inclusion shows up in the preparation: trained staff, clear communication, flexible environments, practical supports, and people who know how to respond when someone needs something different.

Because being allowed into a space is not the same as being supported, included, or valued within it.

Inclusion isn’t what we say. It’s what we make possible.

It’s August, which means the back-to-school mental load has officially arrived.

As an ADHD mom raising ADHD kids, this transition is about so much more than buying school supplies. It’s restarting routines and medications, preparing for IEP and 504 conversations, deciding when to email teachers, and wondering how to advocate without becoming “that parent.”

In my newest blog post, I’m sharing some of the questions already running through my mind, along with what I’ve learned from being on both sides of the table as a parent, former special education teacher, and neurodiversity inclusion consultant.

Our children deserve to begin the year feeling understood, not spend months recovering from being misunderstood. And our teachers deserve practical training and support so they aren’t expected to figure all of this out alone.

And the icing on the cake? When we better support the 1 in 5 neurodivergent learners, we actually work to create better classrooms for everyone.

It’s August, which means the back-to-school panic has officially begun. As an ADHD mom raising ADHD kids, transitions can be a lot. The transition into a whole new school year? A LOT a lot. For us, it’s not just buying school supplies or waiting for teacher assignments. It’s restarting medicat...

“The problem was not my brain. It was the format.”

This Edutopia article is such an important reminder that students can understand the content and still struggle to access it when learning depends heavily on reading, writing, or one specific way of showing what they know.

Tools that allow students to listen, speak, draw, watch, or receive feedback in real time are not “shortcuts.” They reduce unnecessary barriers so students can stay engaged and demonstrate their actual thinking.

Inclusion does not mean lowering expectations. It means providing more than one pathway to reach them.

A great read for educators thinking about neurodiversity, accessibility, and the role technology can play in supporting learners:

By offering alternative formats, these options reduce the heavy text decoding that can be a significant hurdle for many neurodivergent students.
