As we have traveled around South Africa doing Talks, Workshops and Coferences , we have met so many wonderful people. There is no such person as a boring ADDer and our lives have been enriched by working with them.
While ADDers are never boring, Educators who teach and inspire their ADHD learners are Saints.
Dave does one on one ADHD Coaching with clients around the world via Zoom.
Below are a few of the testimonials we have received from our Coaching Clients and those who attended our various public events.

Dave has been by my side each step of the way since I started the Coaching Programme. You can't do it alone! Thank you.
Parents of an ADHD child
Where do I start explaining what our lives would be like without Dave and Pat? We have known them for over two years now and without their help and guidance, we would be wondering aimlessly thinking if we are alone or not.
We have a child, 13 years, who has been Gifted with ADHD. As we all know life can be challenging enough with a teenager but add ADHD to the mix and it becomes even more interesting.
Whenever we have a question or are just inquisitive, we pop a mail, call, or even smoke signals to them and they always come back with helpful information. They make you feel like you part of a family and are always there for you. Many a time parents of an ADHD/ADD child feels like the world is on their shoulders and that they have nowhere to turn in regards to practical and useful information.
Dave and Pat are our lifesavers and knowing that they are just a phone call away is the best feeling ever.
(accordion title="Parents of a teen who attended a Study Tips Workshop"}
I would like to THANK YOU for the awesome informative workshop held yesterday on Study Tips. I gained knowledge and value and will be sharing and following through with my family in my home.
Parent attended talk and entire family became coaching clients
I am a mom married to an ADD man (who started taking Ritalin when he was eight years old) and two ADD-ADHD children. I have always been secure in the knowledge that the ADD gene came from my husband’s side of the family. After last night I think I might be wrong!
When I listened to you talk you could have been describing me. I was the kids who sat in the back of the class and drew hundreds of squares instead of doing my work. I was the child who failed the first and third term of every year as I did not feel those were important. My marks could range from 20% for maths (which I still can’t do) to 98% for biology – which I loved.
I was the child who developed an eating disorder, battled depression, OCD, dabbled in drugs and never felt worthy! I still battle with self-esteem problems and constant guilt to this day.
I came from a broken family and all the above symptoms were put down to rebellion against this and I was constantly in trouble. I was definitely the black sheep of the family and my mom still talks about how horrible I was as a teenager. After last night I’m not so sure my actions can be so easily explained away.
Anyway, the reason why I am writing this letter is just to thank you as I think I am about to go on a long journey of discovery. And I also think I have to eat some humble pie in front of my husband!
Educator who attended our Modern ADHD Family Conference
I would like to convey our extreme gratitude and a most sincere thanks and congrats to the Addventure team for organising a most impressive and professional conference. It was awesome.
Parents who attended a talk by Dave
My husband and I were very privileged to attend one of Daves presentations at Pinetown Senior Primary. I have never heard ADHD been described with such passion. Dave put this condition into such simple perspective for all who attended.

Daves talk last night was outstanding! Our staff attends many conferences and talks by various medical professionals and Daves talk was up there with the best. In terms of catering to the needs of parents our staff believe it was the best ever. Thank you!

Thanks to both you and Dave for the fantastic learning opportunity. It has really been fascinating to grow and see how I can help the learners in my class.
