When ADHD Feels Like It's Winning, I'll Help You Take Back Control

Typing Animation 2

As a parent with ADHD raising a child with ADHD, I get it. The daily battles. The guilt. The exhaustion. I also know what works because I've combined 20 years of behavioral science with real-life solutions that actually stick.

Parents: You're Not Failing. Your Child's Brain Just Works Differently.

If you're reading this at 2 AM, googling "why won't my ADHD child listen," I see you. I've been you.

I'm Ryan Baker-Barrett, and I'm both a parent with ADHD raising a child with ADHD AND a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with 20 years in the field. That means I understand the science, and more importantly, I understand the Sunday night dread. The IEP meetings where you feel judged. The guilt when you lose your patience.

Here's what I've learned:

You don't need to be a perfect parent. You need the right strategies.

Our approach to ADHD gets results.

At the heart of our practice lies a commitment to evidence-based interventions. That's why we rely on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a science-driven approach with a proven track record of success.

Your ADHD Doesn't Need to Be Fixed. Your Systems Do.

Let me guess: You've tried the apps, the planners, the productivity hacks. You've read all the books. You understand what you "should" do.

But understanding executive function and actually building it? That's a different game.

I know because I have ADHD too. And as a BCBA® with 20 years of experience, I've learned that ADHD adults don't need more willpower—you need systems that work WITH your brain, not against it.

This Isn't Therapy. It's Engineering Your Life to Work.

We focus on behavioral systems, environmental design, and executive function strategies backed by two decades of applied behavior analysis.

Practical. Evidence-Based. From Someone Who Gets It.
