Webinars are designed for parents of grade school children & teenagers (ages 6-17). Please remember that strategies must be tailored to your child's age.  

In late 2024, we will release our new membership site for families of 4-7 year olds. Please follow ADHD Dude on your preferred social media or join our mailing list to be notified when the program is released.

Yes, the strategies here are not gender specific.  Everything here applies to parents of girls.  

Yes.  ADHD is an executive function developmental delay.  The behaviors typically associated with oppositional defiant disorder are rooted in inflexibility, which is an aspect of executive functioning.  

Additionally, the strategies in every course have been used with children with learning differences, slower processing, dyslexia, etc. 

Ryan has extensive experience working with families of children diagnosed with high-verbal autism spectrum diagnoses both in his private practice and as a  Clinician at a school that primarily serves students with autism. Additionally, he presented at various regional and national autism conferences.

Because autism is such a broad term, it is impossible to say if the strategies taught on the membership site would work for your family without knowing anything about your child; however, the strategies are designed for children and adolescents with average to above-average cognitive ability and full use of functional language, regardless of diagnostic label.

The strategies are not designed for children or adolescents who have limited language or an intellectual disability. 

There are many families of children diagnosed with ADHD and ASD who use the strategies in the membership site with great success. 

Children diagnosed with autism are at much greater risk for highly dependent adulthood ("failure to launch"), under-employment, and unemployment. 

The earlier you help your child with ASD to build resiliency, independence, and social executive function skills, the greater the chance you are providing the scaffolding they will need to be successful in young adulthood. 

Absolutely!  We have families from all over the world who are members.

Kids with ADHD cannot improve their behavior, executive function, or social skills through watching a video. Parents must create the "scaffolding" to help their children build these skills. The webinars are designed for parents to watch at their own pace. You can show your child the visual strategies in Executive Function Crash Course. However, they don't need to watch the entire webinar.

Kids cannot improve their skills by watching a video. Parents must create the "scaffolding" for skills to improve.

We suggest starting with Scaffolding Better Behavior first. 

If you are not dealing with challenging behaviors, we suggest starting with Executive Function Crash Course.

The courses in the membership site consist of short videos broken up into sections.  Scaffolding Better Behavior, Creating Daily Expectations, and Executive Function Crash Course has downloadable PDF "cheat sheets" with actionable strategies from each video.  A downloadable PDF glossary of terms used in the program and a directory to find solutions to families' everyday challenges. 

The courses in the membership site are not therapy or any mental health service, thus they are not reimbursable by your health insurance provider. 

Keep in mind that therapy is not a recommended treatment for children or adolescents with ADHD, per the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics.  

• While much of the content could be helpful to parents of young adults (18 and up), we want to be transparent that the content was not designed for parents of young adults. 
• Those who believe that an authoritative (not authoritarian) parenting approach is wrong despite the decades of research showing it produces the best mental health outcomes (and greatest happiness) for all children. 
• Those who cannot tolerate their child being temporarily upset or angry with them when they make changes that will be helpful to the child.  
• Those who believe their child should have an equal say in parenting decisions.

Please feel free to subscribe to the ADHD Dude YouTube channel where there is a great deal of free content for parents and kids. The videos I make for kids are in the “Dude Talk” playlists. You can also watch/read my content at my ADDitude Magazine page, and the ADHD Dude Facebook page.

Absolutely.  My families do, and we recommend this as it will create consistency and skill development amongst your child(ren) who does not have a diagnosis. 

Ryan provides virtual parent coaching sessions for Membership Site members.  Please contact our Office Manager.  The fee for parent coaching appointments is $150 for a 30-minute appointment and $300 for a 60-minute appointment.  Most parent coaching appointments are 30 minutes.

You are encouraged to attend "Office Hours," during which Ryan answers questions live about the content. The recordings are also left up so you can watch them at your convenience. 

Please note that Ryan cannot provide clinical consultation or advice through email, social media, etc. 

• The ADHD Dude Membership Site is Parent Training and is aligned with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) evidence-based ADHD treatment recommendations.  Parent Training is the AAP-recommended treatment for kids with ADHD.  Individual therapy ("talk therapy"), play therapy, etc., are not recommended treatments by the AAP.
• The ADHD Dude methodology is based on evidence-informed approaches.  This includes an authoritative parenting approach, which decades of research data have shown produces the best mental health outcomes for all children.  
• You may go through the material at your own pace and are encouraged to attend Office Hours to have your questions answered live.  Upcoming Office Hours are listed on the Announcements page.
• Like any other subscription service, the ADHD Dude Membership Site is a recurring subscription.  You may cancel at any time.  The minimum amount of time to join is one month.  Please note there are no refunds or pro-rated discounts for unused memberships.  

Absolutely, many teachers find the Executive Function Crash Course webinars very helpful in the classroom setting and they will also find portions of the other series helpful as well in regards to behavior management strategies.
