Brandon Slade struggled with academics throughout high school, but in college, he recognized that his brain did not work like his peers. After receiving an ADHD diagnosis, Brandon aims 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.

Brandon’s expertise addresses the challenge of executive function difficulties in teens, particularly those with ADHD and dyslexia. We help parents, teachers, and coaches understand and support students who struggle with organization, time management, planning, and procrastination. Our approach aims to transform misconceptions about these students' motivation and abilities, reducing academic frustration and family tension while building life skills.

  • Explore executive function challenges: time management, procrastination, impulse, emotional regulation, and organization
  • Discuss what it is like growing up with ADHD
  • A family doctor can assess if your child has ADHD and dyslexia
  • Understand why kids struggle with organization, time management, and academics
  • Debunk myths about laziness and lack of motivation in these students
  • Learn innovative strategies to reduce family tension and foster student independence
