Person
Dr. John F. Taylor is a nationally recognized expert on ADHD and a pioneering voice in the field of child psychology. With decades of experience as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Taylor has dedicated his career to understanding and supporting children with ADHD and their families. Early in his professional journey, he collaborated with one of the first psychiatrists in the United States who prescribed medication for hyperactive children, marking the beginning of a lifelong commitment to advancing ADHD treatment and education.
As both a professional and a parent of eight children-three of whom faced ADHD-related challenges-Dr. Taylor brings deep personal and clinical insight to his work. His bestselling resources, including The Hyperactive Childand the Family and Helping Your ADD Child, broke new ground by introducing concepts and strategies that had not previously appeared in parent-focused literature on ADHD. His acclaimed video program, "The School Success Tool Kit," showcases over 125 practical techniques for classroom and home, and is widely regarded as one of the most comprehensive visual guides available for ADHD support.
Dr. Taylor's contributions have been honored with prestigious awards, such as the Communications Award from the Mental Health Association of Oregon and the Bullard Social Interest Award for his work in parent education. He has presented hundreds of seminars across the United States, empowering professionals with cutting-edge insights into ADHD management.
In addition to his professional achievements, Dr. Taylor has enjoyed performing on the piano since childhood. He lives in Akron, Ohio, with his wife and their two dogs. He is also a proud grandfather and great-grandfather.
