    We're currently recruiting for our socially impactful EdTech startup: Smart Course (https://smartcourse.io)

    We just hosted the ADHD in Middle School Summit (https://adhdmiddleschool.com), which was 5-day online event with over 20 world-class speakers, all of them highly renowned in the field of ADHD.

    • Dr. Edward Hallowell
    • Dr. Sharon Saline
    • Leslie Josel
    • Elaine Taylor-Klaus & Diane Dempster
    • Cindy Goldrich
    • and Dr. Peg Dawson (to name a few).

    Even more exciting is that we're working with other world-class ADHD experts to build an online course (https://www.adhdmiddleschool.com/online-course-oto-sales-page) that will help parents of kids with ADHD thrive through the notoriously difficult Middle School years.

    • Ms. Melissa Orlov (founder of ADHDmarriage.com, award-winning author, and leader on how ADHD affects relationships) teaches couples, therapists, counselors and coaches about how ADHD impacts relationships and offers private counseling to couples who wish to improve their ADHD-impacted relationships. She will be teaching parents how to maintain strong family relationships while coping with ADHD through the middle school years.
    • Dr. Concetta DeCaria (legendary clinical neuropsychologist with a specialization in children and adolescents who's provided academic and cognitive remediation, psychotherapeutic support, and evaluation services to hundreds of individuals with difficulties in learning, attention and regulation, behavior, social, and emotional functioning since 1997) will explain everything there is to know about diagnosing ADHD as well as any other co-morbid conditions, how they come into play, and how the results of these tests help students get the support and accommodations they need.
    • Dr. Sarah Allen (certified brain injury specialist, the executive director of neuropsychology at Brain Behavior Bridge, and an adjunct faculty member at Drexel University. She is also a consulting Neuropsychologist for Weisman Children's Hospital and consults for districts all over the state of New Jersey regarding brain-based program designs for public and private schools. She conducts research, teaching, and clinical neuropsychological assessments with a focus on neuro-educational programming for children in school) will help parents gain a better understanding of the ADHD brain and how their child's unique ADHD profile will help inform which accommodations they should get in place.
    • Dr. Sarah Wheeler (special education teacher, counselor, and school psychologist for over a decade, specialized in helping children who are struggling to learn, socialize, or navigate their emotional world, especially children with learning disabilities, ADHD, and autism) will teach parents everything they need to know about school accommodations and the role of a school psychologist when it comes to helping their child with ADHD.
    • Mr. Daniel Kramarsky (teacher, administrator, and parent with ADHD as well as a career in education of over 30 years. He has taught teachers at Columbia University Teachers College and presented his work internationally at conferences on ethics and philosophy of education. He and his daughter, now a student at a top-notch university, both have ADHD.) As your lead instructor and an insider with expertise on what happens in schools and families impacted by ADHD, he will be teaching you the most important things you need to know about ADHD during the middle school years and how to handle the toughest challenges you will face.

    As you can see, our first course is geared to help parents effectively prepare their kids with ADHD for the transition to middle school, and gain a better understanding of how to foster better relationships with the school and at home (for example we know that parent-child relationships and marriages are severely strained when raising a child with ADHD. The divorce rate is twice as high as for parents of neurotypical kids). See here for a brief intro video:

    We have partnered with Teachable (https://teachable.com) which is a successfully established online course development platform to develop and host the course.

    Also, we are going through Startup Boost's Pre-Accelerator Program (http://startupboost.org/) which will accelerate our growth exponentially in the coming months.

    While we have several ADHD experts developing much of the course material, we are still looking for help with research, business development, content creation, internal operations, human resources, design, sales, and digital marketing of the organization.

    Some skills of particular interest include:

    • Animation and/or videography and graphic design
    • Market Research and Business Development
    • Understanding of Copywriting and Digital Marketing via Email Marketing, Conversion Rate Optimization, and Social Media Marketing on YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Facebook
    • Mental Health Research, Data Science, and Content Creation / Presentations for Special Needs, especially ADHD
    • Human Resources, Operations, and Customer Service / Customer Tech Support experience
    • Your unique skills relevant to helping us help parents of kids with ADHD

    The work could involve helping to develop certain modules of the course, making videos, other materials to market it, research and data analysis with parents, and/or sharing your knowledge on the subject. Then, depending on the level of contribution, you could get a percentage of the tuition ongoing, make commissions from sales of the summit or course, or the course could be a source of referrals and marketing for your research and, eventually, potentially your own practice.
