Do you know a child that has been diagnosed with ADHD? Do you know an adult that has ADHD as well? Chances are that if you are like most people then you know of at least one adult or child that has been diagnosed with ADHD. Now, in America, there are large numbers of those children with ADHD that are medicated. However, French children are off ADHD medication and there are a few theories as to why.

How do you personally approach medicating ADHD learners?

Healthy eating habits help with ADHD.

French children are known for their healthy habits of eating and many of them do not eat junk food like a large portion of American children do. In France, ADHD is not termed as a biological disorder like it is in the United States. In France, they focus more on the diet and intake of the child where in America they medicate in an attempt to manage the chemical imbalance in the brain.

Is your child struggling in school?

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
