Build ADHD expertise
inside your school.
Most teachers genuinely want to support students with ADHD. The effort is there. What’s often missing is a shared understanding — and someone on staff who can build it and sustain it.
Joining as an individual educator? Many ATTA participants enroll to deepen their own knowledge and skill — and become the catalyst for lasting change in their school. You are welcome here.
A word from Cindy Goldrich, Ed.M., ADHD-CCSP
Why this matters
The need has never been more urgent
ADHD is widely misunderstood in schools — not because educators don’t care, but because teacher preparation programs provide little to no training on ADHD or executive function. The gap is growing.
Teachers Are Underprepared
Most teacher preparation programs provide little to no education on ADHD and executive function — even as classroom demands rise and teacher burnout increases.
ADHD is Widely Misunderstood
ADHD is not just about attention. It impacts learning, motivation, self-regulation, and behavior — and requires strategies most teachers have never been taught.
Isolated Training Has Limits
One-time professional development can be valuable — but without internal expertise to reinforce and sustain it, the impact often fades before it reaches every classroom.
Students Are Paying the Price
When teachers lack the right tools, students with ADHD struggle unnecessarily — and the gap between their potential and their experience compounds over time.
What’s happening in classrooms
The gap schools can’t afford to ignore
Strategies are applied inconsistently across classrooms — students with ADHD experience different levels of support depending entirely on their teacher.
Special education teams are overextended, stretched beyond their capacity to consult and coach every classroom that needs support.
Parents feel like schools “don’t get it” — and the disconnect undermines the home-school partnership students need most.
Without a shared language or framework, conversations about struggling students go in circles — and real solutions stay out of reach.
Grounded in Research & Real Classroom Experience
The ADHD Teacher Trainer Academy is built on the work of Cindy Goldrich, Ed.M., ADHD-CCSP, and Carly Wolf, MA — co-authors of this widely used educator resource. Cindy’s training programs have been used by thousands of educators, therapists, and coaches worldwide. ATTA brings that expertise directly into your school — not as a one-time event, but as an embedded, ongoing system.
Who the ADHD Teacher Trainer Academy is for
Two paths into the Academy
Whether your school is investing in internal expertise or you’re an individual educator ready to lead — the ADHD Teacher Trainer Academy meets you where you are.
Staff Training
Train one or more staff members to become your school’s internal ADHD specialist — someone who supports teachers, guides conversations, and provides ongoing, embedded training that actually changes practice.
- Principals & assistant principals
- Directors of special education
- Instructional coaches & teacher leaders
- School counselors & psychologists
- Student support & intervention teams
Enroll on Your Own
Many ATTA participants join to deepen their own understanding of ADHD and executive function, develop more effective strategies, and build the confidence to support and guide colleagues. Often, they become the change their school didn’t know it needed.
- Classroom teachers at any level
- Special educators & learning specialists
- OTs, SLPs & mental health professionals
- ADHD coaches & educational consultants
- Tutors working closely with school systems
What makes this different
This isn’t a one-time training. It’s how your school builds lasting ADHD expertise.
Other professional development trains individual educators to improve their own practice. The Academy does something more: it trains someone to become your school’s designated ADHD specialist — with the tools, license, and ongoing support to sustain the work for years.
School-First Design
Built so one or two staff members become your school’s internal expert — equipped to train and support colleagues directly, not just apply knowledge in their own classroom.
Ready-to-Deliver Materials
Graduates receive complete, licensed professional development presentations — ready to facilitate with teachers, parents, and staff immediately after graduation.
Ongoing Support Built In
Monthly graduate calls, a dedicated hub, and a 1:1 mentor session ensure you’re never left to figure it out alone. The relationship continues after the program ends.

What educators are saying
Real impact in schools
Her presentation was so successful, so well-received by staff and so valuable, all participants urged me to contract her to work with all staff. As a result, we brought her back for multiple sessions across the district — working with our staff to build their capacity in executive function and better support students with ADHD in general education classrooms.
“I went in knowing a fair amount about ADHD, but ATTA added so much. The ready-to-use presentations mean I can walk into a professional development session with confidence rather than spending months building materials from scratch.”
“What stood out most was the shift in thinking — from seeing ADHD as a behavior issue to understanding it as a skills deficit. That reframe changed how I approach every conversation with teachers, parents, and students.”
“This wasn’t just a training — it was a system. The curriculum, the presentations, the peer learning, the ongoing support — it all works together. I feel set up for success, not left to figure it out alone.”
“A dynamic presenter, well-informed and eager to engage. Her practical strategies were well-received by our faculty, and we were immediately able to put her training to good use.”
