While a hundred years of scientific research proves the existence of AD/HD, some people continue to be confused about the validity of the disorder. And although this is one of the best times in history to live with AD/HD, millions of people go undiagnosed and untreated. That’s why the professionals in the CHADD communications and media relations department work to foster a better understanding of AD/HD by disseminating science-based information to the media, the public, CHADD members, and public policymakers.

Bolstered by a board of directors and a professional advisory board made up of some of the world's leading thinkers, advocates, and researchers, CHADD is a one-stop shop for national and local journalists. CHADD’s communications department also produces Attention magazine, a bimonthly publication that is disseminated to CHADD members and over 40,000 doctor’s offices. CHADD's communications department is a respected source of information for those seeking to learn more about AD/HD. And it is positioned to be a strong agent of change, helping to create a better tomorrow for those affected by the disorder.
