Brandon Slade
Brandon struggled with academics throughout high school, but it wasn't until college that he recognized that his brain did not work like those of his peers. After receiving an ADHD diagnosis, Brandon's goal has been to better understand how the ADHD brain works. After teaching special education for 12 years, he started Untapped Learning. Untapped's mission is to help students with executive function challenges—specifically ADHD and dyslexia.
