CHADD is a nonprofit organization that provides information and support to parents of children with attention deficit disorders,
adults with attention deficit disorders, and others dealing with people affected by attention deficit disorders. Through monthly
meetings with guest speakers, a periodic newsletter, support groups, and the caring of other parents as well as education
and medical professionals, CHADD members form a supportive network to exchange helpful ideas about raising and educating children
with attention deficit disorder.
