Everything is designed for you, the parent. ADHD skills aren't built by a child sitting in therapy or watching a video. They're built by providing the scaffolding they need to build skills and by you changing how you handle things—and that's what these courses and tools help you deliver.

This is parent training, not therapy—and it's the evidence-based standard recommended for children with ADHD by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

3. My child has (autism, ODD, anxiety, AUDHD) can this work for our family?

Yes. These strategies are designed for families of kids with ADHD and overlapping diagnoses, which is extremely common. Whether your child has autism, ODD, learning differences, sensory issues, or anxiety, the skills that you will develop through the courses will help your child build skills.

What matters most is using clear, consistent, structured parenting strategies, and that’s exactly what the membership provides. You’ll learn how to step into your parental authority with high empathy + high expectations, while reducing overwhelm at home.

4. How is ADHD Dude different from other parenting approaches for neurodiverse kids?

Many parenting methods for neurodiverse kids emphasize emotional validation and avoiding discomfort. While well-intentioned, this approach, called parental accommodation, can limit a child’s ability to build coping skills and independence. Research shows that reducing accommodation supports stronger emotional growth (Lebowitz et al., 2019).

At ADHD Dude, we believe your child is capable. Our approach uses structure, consistency, and clear expectations to teach real-life skills and build confidence.

Ryan Wexelblatt, LCSW, developed ADHD Dude from years of experience as a school-based clinician, therapist specializing in neurodevelopmental differences, and father to a son with ADHD, ODD, and learning differences. His evidence-informed strategies combine clinical expertise with real parenting experience and have helped thousands of families create lasting change.

Kids don’t build confidence by avoiding discomfort. They build it through empathy, structure, and skill building supported by consistency.

5. Is the ADHD Dude Membership available internationally?

Yes—the ADHD Dude Membership is open to families worldwide. Right now, families in over 50 countries are using these strategies to support their child’s growth and create more peace and structure at home.

6. Should I have my child watch the courses with me?

No—kids with ADHD don’t improve behavior, executive function, or social skills by watching videos. That’s not how skill-building works. These webinars are designed for parents to watch and apply at their own pace.

For your child to build real-life skills, you need to create the scaffolding—the structure, consistency, and clear expectations that support daily growth. That’s what the courses teach you how to do.

You can show your child the visual strategies in the Executive Function Crash Course, but they don’t need to—and shouldn’t—watch the full webinar.

If you’re just getting started, we suggest beginning with one of our parent behavior training courses:

Capable & Confident (for parents of 4–7-year-olds)
Scaffolding Better Behavior (for parents of 8–17-year-olds)

If your child’s behavior isn’t a major concern right now, feel free to start with another course that fits your current goals—like Executive Function Crash Course or Socially Smarter.

7. What’s the format of the courses, and are there any downloadable tools?

Each course in the Membership Site is made up of short, easy-to-follow videos, broken into sections so you can go at your own pace—no long lectures or information overload.

Several courses—Capable & Confident, Scaffolding Better Behavior, Creating Daily Expectations, and the Executive Function Crash Course—include downloadable PDF “cheat sheets” with actionable strategies from each video.

You’ll also get:

A PDF glossary of terms used across the program
A strategy directory to help you quickly find solutions to everyday parenting challenges
Templates used in the programs, as well as examples of how to use the templates

Everything is designed to be practical and easy to apply—so you can spend less time searching and more time making real progress.

8. Are the courses covered by health insurance?

No. The courses in the Membership Site are not therapy or a mental health service, so they are not reimbursable by insurance.

Keep in mind: therapy is not a recommended treatment for children or adolescents with ADHD, according to the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The gold standard is parent training—which is exactly what these courses provide.

9. Can members schedule individual coaching appointments?

To schedule a session, please contact our Office Manager.
The fee is:

$150 for a 30-minute session

These sessions are a great way to get personalized guidance on applying ADHD Dude strategies to your family situation.

10. How can I ask you questions about some of the content in the webinars?

Yes—you’re encouraged to attend our live “Office Hours” sessions, where we answer member questions related to the course content and strategies. If you can’t attend live, recordings are always available so you can watch at your convenience.

Please note: We cannot provide clinical consultation or individual advice through email, social media, or direct messaging. Office Hours are the place to get your questions answered within the program's scope.

11. I have ADHD myself—will I be able to use the Membership effectively?

Yes—and you’re not alone. We estimate that at least 50% of the parents using the Membership have ADHD themselves, whether diagnosed or not.

The courses were intentionally designed to be user-friendly for ADHD brains:

Courses are broken into short, manageable modules
You can watch everything at your own pace, on your schedule
There’s no rush—and no pressure

In the downloadable section, you’ll also find tools to help you stay on track:

A glossary of terms used throughout the programs
“Cheat Sheets” that summarize key points and action steps for each module
Downloadable templates and examples to apply what you’re learning right away

What matters most is your mindset.
Having ADHD doesn’t mean you can’t help your child—it just means you may need to approach things differently.

A fixed mindset says: “I can’t do this—I have ADHD.”
A growth mindset says: “I want to help my child with ADHD, and I’ll take small steps to learn how.”

And that’s precisely what the Membership is here to support.

12. How do I cancel my membership?

There are two ways to cancel your membership:

Contact our office to cancel. In the subject line, put "Please cancel," and make sure to use the same email address you used to sign up.
If you pay by credit card: Watch the short video below for step-by-step instructions on how to cancel.

If you need help, feel free to contact our office—we’re happy to assist.

Please note: As stated in the Terms & Conditions (available just above the “Complete My Purchase” button), there are no refunds for canceled memberships or unused time.

Is this therapy?

No. ADHD Dude courses are not therapy or counseling. They are Parent Behavior Training programs, the evidence-based treatment recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Society of Clinical and Adolescent Psychology for children with ADHD.

Instead of focusing on emotional processing or traditional “talk therapy,” ADHD Dude teaches parents practical, step-by-step strategies to help their children develop executive functioning, self-regulation, and independence because the research shows that is most effective.

Who is this for — and who is it not for?

These courses are designed for parents and caregivers of children and teens with ADHD (or suspected ADHD) who want clear, actionable tools that actually work at home.

They are not designed for children or adolescents to watch independently, or for families whose child has limited functional language or an intellectual disability.

The strategies work best for children with average to above-average cognitive ability who can understand cause and effect and respond to consistent structure.

What age range is this program designed for?

Each course targets a specific developmental range:

Creating Daily Expectations ages 4-17
Capable & Confident: ages 4–7
Scaffolding Better Behavior: ages 8–17
Executive Function Crash Course: ages 6–17
Socially Smarter: ages 6–17
Better Bedtime Scaffolding: ages 5–12

If your child falls between ages or has unique needs, choose the course that best matches their current behavior patterns and independence level, not just chronological age.

How fast will I see changes?

Results depend on how consistently you apply the strategies. Many parents report noticeable improvements, like fewer meltdowns, smoother transitions, and calmer home routines, within a few weeks. The most lasting results come from consistent, patient repetition, not quick fixes. ADHD Dude focuses on building long-term skills, not short-term compliance.

Can my child watch the webinars?

No, the webinars and courses are designed for parents to learn how to scaffold skills at home. Kids with ADHD do not improve executive function, behavior, or social skills by watching videos. However, parents can share visual tools or examples with their child when appropriate.

Does this work if my child has both ADHD and autism?

Yes, in many cases. The strategies are effective for children with high-verbal autism spectrum profiles who have full use of functional language and average-to-above-average cognitive ability.

However, the program is not designed for children with limited language or significant cognitive delays. Ryan’s experience includes working with families of autistic children, and many parents report success when they apply these strategies consistently.
