Holistic Support Empowering Neurodivergent Lives

At Beyond The Desk, our journey began with a deeply personal vision, spearheaded by founder Michael Van Sant, MBA. "Diagnosed with ADHD during my MBA studies, I gained profound clarity on the challenges and unique strengths of the neurodivergent lived experience. This ignited a passion: not just to provide academic support, but to foster comprehensive well-being and empower neurodivergent individuals and their families."
