Evelyn Ferguson

Founder and ADHD training developer.

My journey began with the birth of my first child, a moment that changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. Becoming a mother taught me patience beyond measure, a deeper understanding of what it means to truly listen, and the importance of seeing the world through my child eyes. When my son was diagnosed with ADHD, everything I thought I knew changed. In the process of learning how to support my child, I also discovered something unexpected: I, too, have ADHD.

That discovery was a turning point—not just for me as a mother, but for me as a person. Suddenly, I understood the challenges I had faced my whole life and why things that seemed so simple for others felt so overwhelming for me. But instead of holding me back, this realization gave me purpose. My son’s journey gave me the courage to embrace who I am, and most importantly, it ignited a fierce determination to make a difference—not just for him, but for every child who needs support, understanding, and someone to believe in them.

I began working as a Teaching Assistant in primary schools, where I encountered children from all walks of life. Many of them, like my son, had unique challenges that made learning difficult. Watching these children struggle without the resources or support they needed broke my heart. But it also gave me hope. I saw their potential, their resilience, and their ability to thrive when someone took the time to see them, hear them, and believe in them.

Over time, I fell in love with teaching. I earned a BA in Education and trained to become a teacher, dedicating myself to understanding how children learn, how they process information, and how I could help them overcome their obstacles. 

But it wasn’t just about teaching skills. It was about giving these children a voice. It was about showing them that they are capable, worthy, and valued, no matter what challenges they face.

My passion drove me to establish the Peak Foundation—an organization dedicated to giving children with special needs the opportunities they deserve while helping schools like mine provide the best education possible.
