"I hope that viewers worldwide can see themselves in my animated film, find hope for a brighter future, and envision a more equitable and inclusive environment for young children and families. I also want the system to reflect on how we can genuinely improve outcomes—are we truly helping or inadvertently hindering progress?" - Lisa Knight
Lisa's experience highlights the often-overlooked reality of preschool suspensions and expulsions, a practice that often affects young children with ADHD. Navigating a system that can feel overwhelming and unsupportive, Lisa found solace and strength in connecting with other families facing similar challenges. Her story serves as a reminder that community and collective action are crucial for creating a more equitable and inclusive environment for all children.

This October, let's talk about #adhd and its impact on young children. 🧠
This powerful animated short features Lisa, a PhD candidate, educator, and mother, who shares her journey navigating the school and mental health system with her son CJ, who was diagnosed with ADHD.
This video bridges the gap between parents and providers, offering valuable insights into the lived experiences of children with ADHD and families navigating the systemic challenges of bias and racism within early education, where Black boys are disproportionately suspended. Lisa's story is a must-watch for anyone who wants to understand the challenges faced by families of children with ADHD, the vital role of parental voices, and the need for better support and understanding within our education system.

Let's use #ADHDAwarenessMonth to amplify these stories and create a more informed and supportive environment for children and families like Lisa and CJ.
