Hi.. Does anyone know were I can find a support group for ADHD families.

Our son was diagnosed 2 years ago and he is being treated with medication and behavioral therapy. We have made alot of changes in order to help him, and I am very happy with the Docter and Therapist that sees him. I would like to meet other parents facing ADHD. So that maybe we can give each other advive and support and even playdates.

ddyurubi: Just curious to see how yo made out and if you contacted CHADD?

Chadd is the best "national" source for ADHD support, with local chapters providing an opportunity to meet many other parents. You might also see if there is an LDA (Learning Disabilities Association) chapter in your area.
For "online" support, this group is very knowledgeable: www.millermom.proboards107.com
