CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity
Disorder) is the nation's leading non-profit organization serving
individuals with AD/HD and their families. CHADD has over 16,000 members
in 200 local chapters throughout the U.S. Chapters offer support for
individuals, parents, teachers, professionals, and others.
CHADD is a membership
organization, produces the bi-monthly Attention! magazine (for members),
and sponsors an annual
conference. The National Resource Center on AD/HD (NRC) is the
CDC-funded national clearinghouse for evidence-based information about
AD/HD.
Contact information for all local chapters is available online
through the CHADD
Chapter Locator.
CHADD was founded in 1987 in response to the frustration and sense of
isolation experienced by parents and their children with AD/HD.
