Get Moving!

CHADD is part of a social movement more than twenty years in the making that seeks to reshape how society treats, accommodates, and views people with AD/HD. Our movement is made up of countless individuals with AD/HD, their families, teachers, friends, and leaders in the mental health field. We realize the most effective way to accomplish our goals is through sustained and strategic outreach to policymakers on the state and federal levels. The leaders of our movement are recognized and respected in the halls of Congress, in statehouses across the country, and in meetings where public policy is interpreted.

As a political philosopher once observed, a movement is a group of people moving. That is certainly what is happening at CHADD. We are moving and we are moving people to make a difference for people with AD/HD. And we need your help. We want you to have the information you need to make a difference where you live. We also want you to be armed with information to make a difference in your own life, whether that means dealing with issues in the classroom, the boardroom, or your living room. This section of the CHADD Web site provides you with information on public policy and how you can take action. We look forward to seeing you on the frontlines.
