Dr. Sandra’s Story
Dr. Sandra Doran never saw herself working as a superintendent overseeing 32 schools, much less working with schools at all. In fact, she never even saw herself living in Florida. After receiving her master’s degree in communication, Doran and her husband adopted their first child and challenges began. She felt like “the worst mother in the world because ADHD hadn’t been invented yet.” She wrote an article for parents in similar situations called, “Hard-Earned Advice for Parents at Wit’s End,” then began to research. As soon as she discovered attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), she wrote a second article for the same magazine. Later on, Focus on the Family re-printed the article and Doran started to receive mail from desperate parents worldwide.
