NICHCY eNews Foundations:

AD/HD 101

NICHCY is pleased to offer you eNews, a news service that brings you resources and information that are relevant to your interests and concerns. All are welcome to sign up for eNews and tell us what type of info they'd like to receive. Because we sift through mountains of resources daily at NICHCY, we are in an excellent position to let our users know when we run across something of interest to them. (Don't know what we're talking about here? Visit our eNews sign-up page, and read all about it.)

This eNews Foundations page offers the same starting point to everyone who signed up on eNews to receive information about AD/HD---Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. It doesn't matter if you signed up to receive this info on Day 1 or Day 366 of our service. You'll begin to receive this info through our periodic eNews mailings on the subject---AND, in the meantime, this page will connect you with the resources and info we've already shared with others.

• How about a 24-pager on AD/HD?
  www.nichcy.org/pubs/factshe/fs14txt.htm
  Written by Mary Fowler, a well-known author, advocate, educator, and internationally recognized expert on AD/HD, NICHCY's briefing paper offers a much more detailed discussion of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, including understanding and diagnosing AD/HD, treatment recommendations, school issues and interventions, and suggestions to help parents meet the challenges that often come with raising a child with this disability. Good for teachers, too! Mary offers lots of research-based suggestions to help frame the classroom experience for student success.
