A Framework for

Understanding & Responding to ADHD


As an adult diagnosed with ADHD, a father of someone with ADHD, an ADHD Coach, Consultant, and Academic Strategist, I designed the ADHD Inside Out Framework to inform, support, and equip individuals with ADHD, as well as their friends & family, and fellow professionals working with those affected by ADHD.

This website offers many opportunities to experience the Framework as deeply as you wish through coaching, webinars, presentations, and professional training.

How can the ADHD Inside Out Framework serve you?


COACHING

"I just wanted to thank you for all you have done for me as you have helped me reach my dream of attending McGill University!

I truly could not have done it without you. Your coaching helped me understand who I really am, unlocking a whole new world for me.

You are a very special person and I am grateful everyday that I met you. You have inspired me through your stories and careful understanding of my problems and that is something I will keep with me for the rest of my life. - K.D. University Student

“Our 11 yr old son felt so ‘seen’ and ‘acknowledged’ after meeting with you. I definitely see coaching as something that would be very beneficial for us!” - C.L.

“I believe Dan is able to empathize with me because he has been in my shoes; he’s able to reach out to me in a way no other coach or counsellor has. Dan is very easily approachable. I’ve learned what my strengths and weaknesses are, and to use my weaknesses as my strengths. Dan’s ability to relate to my ADHD has helped in teaching me a better outlook on why I react the way I do.” -K.S. (Grade 11 Student)


LEARNING

"The seminar that Dan Duncan provides has been a life changer for our family.” - Josh S

“Excellent and relevant! This seminar was presented with a balance of factual information and personal experience. It was easy to understand and very useful.” - K. G. C.

“Most engaging & informative presentation on this topic I have participated in. Presenter’s real-life & personal examples enhanced presentation significantly. This is the FIRST time I feel like I actually understand how an ADHD person might feel like.”

“Your humour & insight into ADHD helped me understand that this is not a diagnosis to be stigmatized. I have gained more knowledge than I ever expected.” - J. K.

“I love how you have ADHD yourself, so you offer insights from the ‘inside scoop’.” - S. A.

“It really opened my mind to what ADHD truly is & how I can help my son who has it. It will change how we support our son.” - S. M.


PROFESSIONALS

“Best Professional Development I’ve been to in 16 years.

“This should be a mandatory Pro-D Day requirement. So informative and information to take back to the class! Dan’s presentation was the best keynote I have ever heard!”

“I have seen a number of ADHD presentations - this one was by far the most educational, realistic, and thought provoking because of the personal examples shared.”

“I learned more about ADHD in that one workshop than I have learned in all the other workshops on the subject combined! He's just that outstanding."

"Wow! I had several students in my mind during your presentation; your explanations & advice will definitely keep me moving forward!” 

"It gave me more empathy and understanding for those who have ADHD. I feel I will be more effective in meeting the needs of my students. I have strategies to take into the classroom that will benefit all my students”
