Our Mission

Fuel for Focus empowers students with ADHD—and the parents who support them—by providing accessible resources, practical strategies, and a welcoming community through our website and social media. We’re here to ensure no student feels alone in their diagnosis, and that parents gain a clearer, more comprehensive understanding of ADHD and how to navigate it alongside their child. Through shared tools, stories, and encouragement, Fuel for Focus helps turn everyday challenges into opportunities for growth, confidence, and connection.

Fuel for Focus began with my journey, now it's about empowering yours.

About Us

Hi, I’m Olivia DiPippa, and I started Fuel for Focus because I know what it’s like to be diagnosed with ADHD and feel totally overwhelmed. I was in fifth grade when I got my diagnosis. My doctor gave me a prescription - but that was it. No one told me that things like food, sleep, exercise, or structure could actually help my brain work better.

So I started figuring it out on my own. I watched videos, read articles, tried new habits, and kept track of what actually worked for me. Over time, I built a toolkit of real strategies that helped me focus, stay organized, and feel more in control of my life.

Now I want to share everything I’ve learned with other teens who might be where I was back then - confused, frustrated, or just trying to figure it all out. To make sure you get the most out of this journey, every aspect of Fuel for Focus—right down to the website design—was crafted with you in mind. My goal was to keep it simple yet visually engaging to maintain your focus while sparking your interest.

Fuel for Focus is a nonprofit I created to give you the kind of support I wish I had when I was first diagnosed. No pressure, no judgment - just honest info and helpful tools from someone who gets it. "I created Fuel for Focus because I didn’t want other teens to feel lost like I did. You deserve more than just a diagnosis - you deserve tools that help you thrive." Let’s build something better -together.

You’re not lazy. You’re not scattered. Your brain just works differently - and that’s okay.

Studies show that when students with ADHD receive the right support -whether through therapy, academic accommodations, or community - they are more likely to succeed in school and life. We’re here to make sure no one has to figure it out alone.

At Fuel for Focus, we believe ADHD isn’t a roadblock - it’s a different path to success. And we’re here to help every step of the way.
