With the relatable approach that's become his signature, Ryan Wexelblatt engages the audience with content that connects, educates, and inspires.

Ryan's out-of-the-box approach to treating ADHD has brought much needed practicality to ADHD field. Ryan takes otherwise stodgy academic content and conveys it in a way that's highly engaging, actionable, and real. No sugar-coating, no ''academic speak. " It's been said about Ryan, "You may not like what he has to say, but he'll always be real with you."

He offers practical solutions for the most common stressors families of kids with ADHD experience, including behavior at home, lagging executive function skills, difficulty making and keeping friends, and managing their emotions.

Ryan is passionate about making sure kids with ADHD and their parents know that ADHD is not a psychological disorder and shouldn't be treated as such and he is not reluctant to share what so many families of kids with have experienced: that the mental health field's approach to ADHD is antiquated and pathologizing.

His enthusiasm and breadth of knowledge in the ADHD arena is why Ryan Wexelblatt is a sought-after guest on parenting, health & wellness, education, and of course, ADHD-specific media outlets. He relates well not only with moms, but with kids, through the "Dude Talk" videos on his YouTube channel; and he resonates particularly well with fathers , who've said they appreciate his lack of "fluffy" language and psychobabble.
