Victoria Bloom is a licensed physical therapist who graduated from Temple University with her Master’s Degree and from the University of Pennsylvania with her Bachelor’s in Biological Basis of Behavior.

She was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder in her late 30’s with the support of her husband Ron Bloom. Now, Victoria understands the nature of the disease and has developed strategies related to parenting children with ADHD and being a mother with ADHD who is parenting young children.
