ADHD in students, executive function challenges, and overlooked signs in school—Dr. Dominique Padarano (“Dr. P”) joins Janine VanStee to share how ADHD often goes undetected, especially in high-achieving or quiet students.
We talk about how teachers and tutors can recognize patterns, approach parents with care, and support students through accommodations and practical tools. Dr. P also shares powerful insights on sleep, diet, and exercise as non-negotiables for ADHD management.
This episode is packed with real stories, expert advice, and simple strategies for anyone working with neurodivergent kids and teens.
