"Our high school recently had the privilege of participating in a professional development session led by Annika Ahlstrom, and it was an eye-opening and transformative experience. I highly recommend this training to educators looking to better understand and support students with ADHD and executive function challenges. This was one of our most informative and useful professional development sessions we’ve had!"
Dr. Lorna Oates-Santos
Principal, Somerville Elementary School, Ridgewood, NJ
Ms. Ahlstrom shared her deep knowledge and 'boots on the ground' insights with our staff in a
presentation that was easily digestible and related to our current needs. She presented in a way that
integrates authentic experiences alongside research, developing plans for realistic interventions.
We hope to continue this partnership!
