The Challenge of ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, also know as ADHD is a condition that affects millions of children and adults. Today, ADHD affects Approximately 3% to 5% of the school age population, with boys diagnosed 3 to 4 times more than girls.
For a child with ADHD, it can mean feeling alone, and being unable to make and keep friends or participate in after school activities, such as sports. Usually, academic performance is affected, too. Problems associated with ADHD may continue into adolescence and adulthood. And while many people are being treated for the disorder, many other are not receiving the proper care and attention they need.
Keep in mind that ADHD is a condition that affects not only the people who have it, but those around them as well.
