Your Donation Supports Struggling Families

When I found a voicemail from my son’s middle school, my first thought was, “What’s happened now?” To my surprise and delight, my son’s science teacher called to share good news: he’d scored well on his science assessment and earned a B as his interim grade.

The previous marking period, my son brought home a below-average report card. My husband and I sat in a room with six teachers, each one repeating, “He’s not focused. It’s difficult for him to get and stay on task. He’s constantly daydreaming. He’s disruptive.”

That’s when I called CHADD. The first person I reached gave me the information we needed to get started. CHADD helped us understand the evaluation process and treatment options. They connected us with an ADHD professional and a family support group. We took part in CHADD’s Parent to Parent ADHD training, which taught us how to help our son. CHADD’s programs improved our family life and helped our son be successful. To me, that is worth gold.

The proof of CHADD’s benefit to us was the positive voicemail from my son’s teacher. As a parent, I’m thrilled by my son’s academic improvement, but I’m even more elated at how much better he feels about himself. I was excited to get home and tell my son about his perfect grade. The best part was his lopsided grin, which I love so much, beaming full of pride.

“When I called CHADD, I didn’t know where to turn. The first person I reached gave me the information my family needed to get started. CHADD provides resources and support to help us better understand ADHD and to know how to help our family. To me, that is worth gold.”

CHADD has been there to support families and adults affected by ADHD when they were squeezed in difficult ways during this pandemic. We have reached more than 2 million people in 2021 through our programs and services, providing support, training, education, and advocacy.

You can help CHADD empower people who cope with ADHD. Training families and individuals on how to navigate ADHD's challenges makes it easier for them to live with the condition. By donating on Tuesday, November 28, you will support CHADD’s programs and connect families and adults to the tools they need to thrive.
