Mary Smith is a dynamic, award-winning ADHD coach with more than 15 years of experience supporting parents, educators, medical professionals, and community organizations. She is known for turning complex neurodivergence concepts into clear, practical ideas that help adults better understand how ADHD brains work. Her goal is to help families create environments where children feel capable, motivated, and supported.
A key focus of Mary’s work is motivation in ADHD. She teaches practical ways to build internal motivation and improve performance in ways traditional rewards and punishment can’t. By moving parents away from pressure and control systems, Mary teaches how to build collaborative relationships with their child, support autonomy and engagement, and grow skills and independence.
Mary brings both professional expertise and personal experience to her work. As a parent of children with ADHD and someone who navigates ADHD herself, she understands the real life challenges families face and offers solutions that are practical and sustainable.
Through coaching, workshops, and speaking engagements, her sessions consistently leave audiences feeling equipped, empowered, and ready to take meaningful next steps.
