E74 - Avigail Gimpel - Living with ADHD

This week’s guest is a college lecturer, practitioner in private practice, parent educator, and author of Hyper Healing. She has been married for 20 happy glorious years, and a mother of six beautiful children, (ages 7-19).
Her passion is helping parents and children diagnosed with ADHD, conduct disorder or learning disabilities flourish and achieve their best.
What drives her work is asking the question - “why are they suffering?” and not “what are they suffering from or what is the disorder/diagnosis?” This question ultimately led her to develop this intervention program full of novelty, discovery, structure, responsibility, routine, and faith in each child’s ability.
She is a firm believer that there is a holistic way to approach the adaptation to and management of life with someone who presents ADHD symptoms, without the sole reliance on medication.
