Reviews
This is a really great educational resource! My only feedback is that the sections are relatively long – which while great as an RD for understanding the recommendations, I can’t see an ADHD client taking the time to read all of these. If you plan to use for client education it may be helpful to go through and bold or highlight key parts of the paragraphs, or try to pare down the information included.
