ADHD Support

There are roughly 2 million children in the United States today who have been diagnosed with ADHD. Judging by the laws of nature and society today, that means there are more than 4 million parents who have children, step-children, or foster children diagnosed with this disorder. As ADHD becomes more visible in schools across the nation, more and more organizations are taking notice of the need for support not only for the individuals affected by ADHD, but those around them as well.

If you find that you are in need of more information about medication, alternative treatments, or ADHD in general, a good place to start is actually your insurance company. Many plans, including BC/BC, provide tools and resources for parents and children coping with affects of ADHD. You can also log in to www.chadd.org on the web for the national chapter of Children and Adults with ADD (ADHD). Find your own local chapter of this support group by entering your zip code!

While ADHD seems to be getting its 15 minutes of fame, not a lot of people are talking about the challenges and difficulties that come along with those letters. There is definitely help and support out there. If you need a starting place, feel free to call us! We'll point you in the correct direction.
