CHADD (Children and Adults with
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is the
nation's leading non-profit organization serving
individuals with AD/HD and their families.
CHADD has over 16,000 members in 200 local
chapters throughout the U.S. Chapters offer
support for individuals, parents, teachers,
professionals, and others.

CHADD is a membership organization, produces
the bi-monthly Attention! magazine (for members),
and sponsors an annual conference. The National
Resource Center on AD/HD (NRC) is the CDC-
funded national clearinghouse for evidence-based
information about AD/HD.

CHADD was founded in 1987 in response to the
frustration and sense of isolation experienced by
parents and their children with AD/HD.
