Unlocking ADHD was founded to bring hope to the ADHD community and to address the gap in information, support, and access that exists in Singapore. We believe that there are many struggling children/ youths in the community and stressed-out parents who have tried many avenues but are unable to unlock their children’s potential. This situation also applies to adults who have struggled through childhood, academic, professional, and personal life saddled with underperformance, shame, low self-esteem, and negative labels. If ADHD happens to be the underlying reason for their situation, the good news is that with a proper diagnosis and management, life can change for the better! ADHDers have many inherent strengths and identifying these will enable them to become productive members in society and also fulfill their potential. There is gap in the availability of information about ADHD in Singapore – where to go for help, access affordable support and connect to a community. There are also gaps in accessing tools to equip ADHDers to live a better life. Unlocking ADHD hopes to be able to do its part to fill these gaps.
