I'm looking for an online parenting skills class that is specific to ADHD. The two I've found so far are "Sanity School" from Impact ADHD and "Stop Battling with your Child" from Penny Williams (Parenting ADHD & Autism).
Has anyone taken these and have any feedback/reviews on them?
Are there any other online classes I should consider?
Thank you!

I haven’t heard of Sanity School, but Penny Williams is fairly popular. Most of her stuff seems to stem from more standardized parenting strategies. So. Probably solid information, but if her courses are expensive, you can probably get the same information cheaper elsewhere.
Our local children’s hospital provided free seminars on one of the most proven methods with ADHD / ODD - Postinve Prarenting Program (usually called Triple P.) Your pediatrician or local children’s hospital might have some great resources for you as well.
Penny Williams has a wonderful Podcast, you could start there. She has a high schooler and really discusses how she has found success with her son. I really learned a lot from her, especially her podcast on punishment.
But I also would not spend a ton of money on any classes.
Just curious are your children getting counseling? If so that person can give you direction.
Triple P is a long established success program. The Pax Good Behavior Game is a further creation that took principles of 3P into the classroom enhancing GBG which had a separate solid basis that trains the brain to be self controlled. Coming full cycle, Pax Tools were created for parents to use to assist/reinforce what was happening in class. Just in time to aid parents in home schooling.
