## Description

ADHD Essentials is the practice and platform of Brendan Mahan, MEd, MS, an ADHD and executive-function consultant, coach, and speaker serving clients in Central Massachusetts and beyond. Through coaching, workshops, and professional development, Mahan helps individuals, families, educators, and schools understand ADHD and related challenges and find practical ways to pursue their goals. His approach centers on the Wall of Awful™, a model he developed to explain how repeated setbacks can make tasks and ambitions feel difficult to approach.

Mahan is the host of The ADHD Essentials Podcast, where he speaks with experts in neurodiversity and mental health. He also shares actionable resources through a free newsletter focused on neurodiversity and mental health, and offers a Five Ps of Reflection worksheet. His first book, Overcoming the Wall of Awful, is a practical guide for people with ADHD, autism, trauma, and anxiety; it is scheduled for publication by Balance on September 1, 2026.
