Your Donation Supports Families
When I found a voicemail from my son’s 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. 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 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 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."
Like Marie, many people felt squeezed in the difficult days during the height of the pandemic. CHADD was there to support her and the more than 2 million families and adults who sought services and support during this confusing time.
Today, countless individuals are empowered by the information and services CHADD has provided every step of the way -- from receiving a diagnosis to joining a support group or a local chapter.
You can help CHADD continue to equip people with ADHD with the training and navigation skills they need to thrive.
Every dollar you give, whether large or small, makes a difference and helps us keep the focus on all things ADHD.
When you give to CHADD, your donation provides hope to the millions of families, protects the rights of school-aged children, answers calls from those facing a life challenge, and supports many others seeking critical services. CHADD is the number one resource when it comes to helping people affected by ADHD, and we need your support to ensure we meet tomorrow's challenges for everyone affected by ADHD.
Honor your friends, family, and loved ones by making a donation to CHADD today.
