Although Nicholas Fogleman has no personal connection to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, he reflects on how deeply ADHD impacted many of the students  he taught in a sixth grade science class as part of Teach for America. “It’s the most common childhood condition,” he explains. “I felt I could help the most people by studying it.” Today, as a faculty member in the UNC School of Medicine, Fogleman serves as a co-investigator on the BrainMap study, which examines how adolescent brains develop and focuses on the differences between youth with and without ADHD. He also directs the UNC ADHD Program, offering evaluations, therapy, medication management and parent training to families.
