  1. Thank you for posting these resources. My husband and I are raising our nephew and two weeks ago he just started meds for ADD. We’ve already seen a slight improvement in his behavior and academic progress.

    As a teacher, I have lots of experience working with students who have ADD or ADHD. It’s a different ballgame when it’s your child who has it.

  2. Thanks for sharing this, I have a girlfriend who I’ll be forwarding these links to.

  3. I’d also like to thank you for sharing these links…I’ll be forwarding this information to my sister. She is always looking for more information to read so that she can better help her son.

  4. Thanks for this!

  5. Thanks a bunch for these resources.
