Our Story
Acendr was created by Dr Jane Graham and her son Tony Woollard following many years of clinical work and lived experience of ADHD.
Jane’s work supporting adults with ADHD highlighted a significant gap in structured life-skills support, particularly for people waiting for assessment or navigating everyday life after diagnosis.
Together they developed the Acendr program to provide practical, structured support designed specifically for the way people with ADHD learn best.
