Episode 72 - From Misunderstood to Empowered: Rethinking ADHD Through Neuroscience With Special Guest Aalia Thobani
What if ADHD isn’t a limitation, but a doorway to understanding how your child learns, thinks, and thrives?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Aalia Thobani—Founder & CEO of The Brain Accelerator, speech-language pathologist, and learning specialist with over 20 years of experience—to explore how neuroscience can shift the way we approach learning, attention, and behavior.
We dive into what’s really happening when a child is labeled as “distracted” or “unmotivated,” and how understanding cognitive profiles like attention, processing speed, and executive function can unlock both potential and confidence.
Whether you're a parent navigating school challenges, an educator, or just someone curious about how the brain works—this conversation offers practical tools, deep insights, and a hopeful perspective on raising resilient, self-aware learners in today’s fast-paced world.
Press play and join us in rethinking ADHD—not as a problem, but as a pathway to empowerment.
