"When psychology professor and ADHD specialist Rabbi Dr. Nachi Felt recently returned to the very school in Queens that had shown him the door when he was just six years old, it was to teach rebbeim and morahs  some of whom had been around in his day  how to teach children like me."
New York, United States
"It took a combination of medication, therapy, supportive rebbeim  including his own father  and a generous dose of inner discipline and drive for Nachi to jump the hurdles that led him to become a husband, father, rabbi, professor and researcher at Columbia University, and PhD psychologist in private practice specializing in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and executive functioning techniques."
