What is Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and How CHADD Can Help
This event has been cancelled.
ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a complex brain disorder that impacts approximately 11% of children and almost 5% of adults in the U.S. ADHD is a developmental impairment of the brain’s executive functions. People with ADHD have trouble with impulse-control, focusing, and organization.
ADHD is not a behavior disorder. ADHD is not a mental illness. ADHD is not a specific learning disability. ADHD is, instead, a developmental impairment of the brain’s self-management system. Both adults and children can be diagnosed with ADHD.
During this presentation you will learn how to identify this condition, and how those impacted can acquire the necessary supports to live quality lives.
