In this episode of Conversations with Courageous Educators, Luke George sits down with Eliza Dadson, founder of ADHD With Me—an educator whose personal and professional journey has given her a deep, science-backed understanding of ADHD.
With decades of teaching experience and a passion rooted in family and formal study, Eliza shares what every educator and parent needs to know about teaching children with ADHD. From the importance of building social skills to the power of positive reinforcement, this episode explores the nuanced challenges—and the untapped strengths—of students with ADHD.
They talk about the critical role of resilience, the influence of medication, and why the post-COVID world has sparked a new level of awareness around neurodivergence. Eliza also speaks to the need for stronger frameworks in schools, better-informed educators, and the importance of seeing ADHD as a different way of learning—not a limitation.
If you’ve ever worked with or loved someone with ADHD, this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to take action.
