Haggai Simon is an ADHD social entrepreneur and behavioral psychology researcher.
Their current work includes ADHD coaching, organizational consulting, and building assistive technology. In their interdisciplinary approach to psychology, Haggai cross-examines insights from disparate fields of research to foster a deeper understanding of ADHD, RSD, and neurodivergence. By utilizing their storytelling skills, Haggai demystifies seemingly complex concepts, making them accessible, relatable, and useful.
In their role as a founder and CEO, Haggai also designs digital solutions to the practical problems experienced by neurodivergent adults everyday. For example, Haggai developed "Diddit," a reminder app that leverages human connection to help ADHDers disrupt procrastination by sending texts to accountability partners, who deliver a reminder to the user. Haggai hopes to expand their impact by creating a homework app specifically designed for ADHD students. This app will utilize the same accountability system as Diddit to remind them to do their homework, the impact of which will have a ripple effect across student success outcomes.
In their free-time, Haggai spends quality time with their partners and their cat Izumi, goes to the gym, and plays dungeons and dragons.
