NADHD Foundation - Black Bottom House Of Prayer

Dana "Action" Jackson, Founder & Pastor

OUR MISSION: Restoring and Preserving Families one SOUL at a time while creating a Lifetime Legacy just as our ancestors taught us.

As a young caseworker I notice an increase in kids diagnosed with ADHD and parents being pressured to medicate their kids before sending them to school and kept medication on hand. The school board hired school nurses to keep up with these medications for IEP kids. Both my boys where diagnosed and I begin my own investigation and research on ADHD and started a pilot program to spend time with these kids. During my research my daughter teacher tried to label her because if her brothers. I put up a fight for my daughter, hired a tutor, and placed her in private school.

Through much prayer and frustration I incorporated ADHD ministries in 2003. Since that time I have seen parents collect behavior notes to get an SSI check for their kids.My heart wanted to fill this void in our community after test results revealed one son gifted emotionally handicap ADHD and the other son SLD/ ADHD. The Holy Spirit had me create a case plan for my children. Tynesha was given regular classwork. Anthony was mentored by a Valencia College Professor at $40 per hour to oversee my home school program for all my kids. Javares had an Educational Therapist at $80 an hour from First Baptist Church. I began to realize minorities will not be able to afford to get the services my boys had speech therapist occupational therapist home school private tutors and mentors.

I began to pray to the Father to make me a storehouse to meet the needs of at risk kids and ADHD families and this dream is starting to be a reality.

Our Historic Church, Black Bottom House Of Prayer, will have a special office to provide these support services. Built in 1925, it is one of the oldest churches in Orlando’s African American community. It was designed in the popular Spanish Mission Style with thick brick and stucco walls.
