Chrissie dedicated her career to teaching in Specialist Educational Settings supporting hundreds of kids living with ADHD, and she is also raising two amazing neurodivergent kids who see, feel, hear and move through the world in their own unique way. She now runs educational advocacy consultations for families, schools and attends many Student Support Group meetings to ensure that our ADHDers are receiving adequate supports and understandings.
