My name is Brenda Nicholson. I am an ADD mom and the mother of 3 children with Attention Deficit Disorder. I am also an ADD Coach, trained at the American Coaching Association. I have been coaching since January 2000.
I first started studying and learning about ADHD almost 30 years ago, when my son was small. I suspected early on that he had Attention Deficit Disorder, so I started reading everything I could about it and talking to anyone who would listen. I wanted to be the best mom that I could be, and I believed that in order to do so, I needed to learn about ADHD.
I’ve come a long way since those early days. Here are some of the companies and people I have worked with in one way or another:
I chaired a committee to offer an ADD Coaching program I designed at Schoolcraft College.

I consulted with the production company Novartis Pharmaceuticals hired to make a video about ADHD. I even got to be in it.

ADDitude Magazine chose ADD Moms as “One of the Web’s Best ADHD Blogs for ADD Adults“.

And then ADDitude asked me to write for them. I wrote about my ADHD daughter’s experiences in college. Here’s a picture of the two of us that accompanied the article.

ADD Moms was chosen by Healthline as one of the top blogs about ADHD in 2012.

Most recently, I assisted Anderson Cooper’s staff with a story they were doing about families and ADHD.

I am here to help people like you – adults with ADHD or parents who have a child with ADHD -who need some help in understanding and managing ADHD.
I can help through my blog, by answering your emails and comments, through my newsletter, and through my own products and coaching programs. Don’t hesitate. Life’s too short not to take charge of your ADHD now.
Disclosure notice: I sometimes recommend products, books or programs. I am often given a free copy of the book or a limited membership in a site in order to review it.I choose what I promote and never promote anything I would not use myself.
