Because women don’t experience ADHD in professional silos.

The woman sitting in a therapist’s office may also be talking to her physician about hormonal changes, struggling with executive functioning at work, parenting a neurodivergent child, questioning a late ADHD diagnosis, and trying to understand why strategies that once worked no longer do.

We need conversations that connect those pieces.

That is what Unfiltered is about.

Join us this October for a day of learning, connection, practical strategies, and conversations that continue long after the conference ends.

Anna Popp founded Popp Education Services and Advocacy in 2017 with a mission to ensure that students with disabilities receive the support and educational services to which they are entitled. Her child-centered, collaborative, but uncompromising approach to special education advocacy was developed and honed by combining her over 25 years of education experience with the advocacy skills she developed while working as the director of the local office of a global non-profit focused on advocating for equal rights worldwide.

Anna is a highly trained Special Education Advocate who completed the Special Education Advocate Training Program through the Council of Parents Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA). Through her training, Anna has gained an in-depth understanding of the laws that protect students with disabilities and their parents, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Anna has also completed Wright’s Law Training and an attorney-supervised practicum. She continues her education by being mentored by special education attorneys and attending various professional conferences focused on special education law and individual disabilities.

Anna is dedicated to teaching others what she has learned through her training and personal and professional experiences. She creates and conducts customized curricula and advocacy workshops. Additionally, she serves on the North Texas Chapter of Children and Adults with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) board.

As a mother of two children with learning challenges, Anna brings a deeply personal perspective to her work. Having successfully guided her children through elementary school, high school, and college, she understands the complexities of the education system and is committed to helping other families do the same.
