National Attention Defecit Disorder Association

One of the most common problems in school classrooms these days is a disruptive student. It is hard to hold lessons and have students learn when someone is yelling and walking around and disrupting the environment. A common source of this problem is a child who has ADD, or Attention Deficit Disorder.

Today’s FamSite is focused on the National ADD Association. Their organizational mission is built around the needs of adults and young adults with ADD and ADHD. They also serve individuals with ADD, as well as those who love, live with, teach, counsel, and treat those who do. Here you will find resources, online help and referrals, all of which can be a great help if you or someone you know is affected by this disease.

My son has ADD. This site has been a blessing when my wife and I look for information on the reasons that he has been acting the way he has been lately. It is very difficult living with someone who has this, as medicine alone is not the answer. The resources here are very helpful.
