Hi everybody! I am a future special education teacher looking forward to learn a little bit about ADD and ADHD from people who have the disease, researchers, parents, and other educators. I am in my last set of classes before student teaching and was wondering if anybody, specifically parents could help my group members and I out. We are trying to construct a Parent Manual for our students, and we seem to need a little guidance. This question is for those parents who receive Parent Manuals from their children's schools or for those parents who would like to receive a Parent Manual. What would you like to see in the Parent Manual? What resources do you want in the Parent Manual? What do or what should Parent Manuals consists of? I greatly appreciate your input. Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon!


Thanks,

Brett,

First, ADD/ADHD is not a disease, its a disorder. Thus, the name: Attention Deficit Disorder.
