#13 How to Find Joy When Your Child Has ADHD with Casey Tuell

September 11, 2023 • June Suepunpuck • Season 1 • Episode 13

OUR GUEST: CASEY TUELL
Casey Tuell is an Occupational Therapist with a Masters degree and 12 years of experience and a lifetime of experience working with children. Her journey began with a love for children. Casey started from babysitting and then moved onto teaching and eventually found her calling in OT, where she has worked in various settings including schools, clinic, rehab, home health, early intervention, PICU and NICU.

Casey’s school days were challenging due to undiagnosed ADHD, but it wasn't until high school that she got the official diagnosis. After years of living and thriving with her own ADHD, and working with children as an OT, she has discovered what has proven to be an effective way to understand and manage ADHD symptoms.
