The number of resources for children with ADHD and executive function disorder are limited. So too are the resources for their parents. Children and parents receive pressure from all sides to “keep up” and “do better” but rarely give those families the resources that they need to accomplish it.
ADHD Training Center was founded by therapists, coaches, and counselors to provide these resources both in person on Long Island and remotely throughout the United States. We offer digital and in person coaching that helps teach parents and children the skills they need to thrive.
Our Team
ADHD Training Center has a rapidly growing team of ADHD specialists that are leading classes and providing private coaching to children and parents.
Founders: Brandon Palazzolo and Stacy Pellettieri
