ADHD Diagnosis and Hope with Jessica Dunn on What Actually Worked

Send us a text

Four years ago, Jessica Dunn was navigating her daughter's AuDHD diagnosis with too many opinions, not enough answers. Today: 18 months without sensory meltdowns.

What this episode cover:

Moving from diagnosis shock to usable roadmap
Why early intervention builds skills before shame sets in
Family therapy vs "fix the kid" approaches
The ADHD tax: funding, benefits, and hard budget choices
Choosing high-impact supports and measuring by function
Body-based regulation: deep pressure, vestibular input, chiropractic care
Primitive reflexes, midline work, making OT gains stick
Building trusted teams and filtering noisy advice
Redefining progress with small wins that compound
Carrying hope into new stages like puberty

The toolkit that travels: Visual routines, movement before focus, protein before school, simple words during stress.

For ADHD parents who need evidence, not inspiration.

Whether you choose medication or other supports, whether you're years into this or just starting - this shows what's possible when you find your people and trust yourself.

Please reach out to me, reach out to Jessica. Hopefully this connects you with people who specialize in ADHD support.
