Brain in Hand’s ADHD support system
Dr Louise Morpeth is CEO of Brain in Hand. A hybrid support system – encompassing digital tools, 1-2-1 coaching, and 24/7 human support – to help neurodivergent people manage overwhelm and reduce anxiety.
Brain in Hand started development 15 years ago, launched 10 years ago, and has successfully supported tens of thousands across the UK. Originally targeting supporting individuals with Autism, the prevalence of ADHD (circa 40% of people with Autism) has meant they’ve been supporting individuals with ADHD from the get-go. They’ve now formally expanded to offer support to individuals with ADHD without Autism as well.
Louise will share how this pioneering company supports individuals with ADHD. How they tackle executive function challenges and daily hurdles. This will help you understand ADHD interventions with a view to your own support or support for others.
Louise is also going to talk about the research they’re undertaking to deepen the understanding of and refine the support given to people with ADHD. The session will close with a Q&A for further discussion.
