I would like to find a program or something that caters to my 7 year old daughter. She has ADD and is not medicated. I do not want to put her on medication to alter her personality and mind. I want her to be who she is and not have to depend on a medication that will alter her temporarily.

Hi Andrew...I am Psico mybe to just know a little bit about me...I am a new member frm Caracas...I am a severe ADHD Special Ed Teacher and probably I will go to Miami, Weston and Miami Lakes and I wonder is you can give me some address for resorses, toys, support material, books or anything that could helpme to be a better pro...

Hi, I was wondering if there are any ADHD Adults in SW Florida?

thanks

I have tried quite a few "ADD/ADHD professionals" for my ADD, none of which knew a thing about ADD's main problems of Time Management and Organization.
For organization, I don't think a Psychologist/Counselor is what you need. Try contacting the National Association of Professional Organizers (www.napo.net (http://www.napo.net)), or The National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization (http://www.nsgcd.org) , for a professional organizer with ADD/ADHD experience in the Tampa area. I too, have problems with Organization. I had to sell my comapany several years ago for the same reason... lack of organization. I am presently going it on my own as far as the therapy (Organization and Time management) goes. If you find a professional that works miracles for you...please let me know.
I am looking for an organization/time management buddy/buddies in the Tampa/St.Pete/Clearwater area , if interested, please contact me.

Thanks and Good Luck.

Support/Social Group for Adults with ADD in Altamonte Springs/Orlando area
http://www.meetup.com/The-Altamonte-Attention-Deficit-Disorder-Meetup-Group/

I started the group because there was a waiting list! Of course, dealing w/ ADD folks we are still getting off the ground. The group is private, so no information about you will show to the general public surfing meetup.com.
The first meetup I scheduled will not be taking place, since no one as yet has actually joined. I will schedule something for May. If you want more information visit the meetup group (and join!) or contact me directly.

Ok, I actually just changed the name of the group - http://www.meetup.com/The-Altamonte-ADD-Social-Club/

I think we might be more wanting a group of 'friends' that have ADD and understand us, more than just sitting around in group therapy. It's worth a shot, anyway! We'll probably have some group meetings, but for now I'm going to work on building up a social group of fun, spontaneous ADDers.
