ADHD: When You're the Parent and There's Major Change
by Tellman Knudson
When you're the parent of a child with ADHD, you have a responsibility to learn all you can about ADHD and to try and help your child learn to work within the framework of their own brains. Everything may be moving much faster for them. You may be a linear thinker and can't quite understand what it's like in their world. And the worst possible scenario is one in which everything has been running smoothly because you have figured all this out, and suddenly, there's change. . . . keep reading

David Palmer, Ph.D.

The ADHD Child: How He Went From F's to A's
by Tellman and Stephanie
I love to tell this story about an ADHD child who went from F's to A's in science using hockey cards. There was this kid with ADHD symptoms that I worked with clinically who was a brilliant kid (as anyone with an ADHD child can relate to). He was getting really bad grades in science class. I mean, he was getting F after F, whereas he was able to get A's in other classes. This is a phenomenon we find often with the ADHD child. . . . keep reading

Sandy Halpern, mother of two children with ADHD, describes a weekly event. "I'll ask my boys to stop playing with LEGOS or X-Box to come eat dinner.

Ashley, who was ten years old at the time, was having the same problem that many kids her age experience in school: lack of focus and concentration. Far too often, kids with these issues are hastily labeled with ADD or Attention Deficit Disorder. Ashley's fate, however, was taking a turn for the better. . . . keep reading

Attention Deficit Disorder: What Should We Do?
by Lisa Harp
It is estimated that there are over 2.5 million people who are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. The majority of these are boys. As a mother of a boy and a teacher, I have seen first hand the evidence of this, and I have to ask why we, as a nation, are content to medicate these beautiful, brilliant children instead of questioning the methods of teaching and choosing alternative educational settings for them. . . . keep reading

Hyperactivity vs ADD - What's The Difference?
by Sarah K. Jenkins
A common misconception, when it comes to Attention Deficit Disorder, is that it is one in the same with hyperactivity. However, this is far from the truth.

ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER: NEW PERSPECTIVES
Mary F. Zesiewicz, MD
Over the years, I watched as the standards of assessment and treatment shifted from a comprehensive one, to one of almost exclusive focus on medication. While a percentage of our children were helped, with ability to stay focused and complete assignments, it seemed that an over-reliance on medications existed, and still does, with an almost complete absence of education on the principles of healthy lifestyle. . . . keep reading

The Great Distraction Myth
by Tellman Knudson
One of the great myths of working with the ADHD child (and anyone with ADHD symptoms for that matter) today is: "Take away all extra distraction and stimulus so the ADHD child can focus." This is just not true, and I will show you why. There was an ADHD child I was working with...his mother worked in a fitness gym, and I had an office there. At my office, I would see this ADHD child to try to help with his ADHD symptoms. . . . keep reading

Rich Lowe
"Tellman and Stephanie encouaged the budding entrepaneur and showed some ways that ADD people are great for it because they are not stuck in the mud they constantly see new ways to do new things!"
Kris Koenig
"The information I have received has helped me to get focused and stay focused I have been able to complete projects and be a better listener."
"I'm fairly new to the program, but so far my whole outlook on life has changed. With my new knowledge from Stephanie and Tellman I have been able to release a lifetime of painful shame, almost instantly. That was such a big relief, it felt like an anvil had been lifted off me. Years and years of mentally beating myself, needlessly, has also been released. I now feel open to
acquiring new "programs" for my brain. I am so excited about being a part of this and I am looking forward to more, major, personal change in the days ahead. I can't thank you guys enough for the freedoms and life changing events I have experienced thus far. Keep up the great work!
Diane Cote'
"To Tellman and Steph, Thanks for gathering all these great resources together in one place. Being a 46 year old
single custodial parent grad student with ADD/ADHD combined form and my two kids of 4 and 6 are ADD/ADHD
combined form as well which makes for an interesting house at times let me tell you. It gets pretty stressful around here at times.
By having all the info in one place I am able to get to it an hour here an hour there without having to search for it which would just get me sidetracked and onto something else. Believe me that very thing has made it hard to get my thesis finished. Some of the info here I am starting to see the results of just here in the house so far with keeping all three of us on track a bit better.
It is also good to see that it is possible for me to make it as an entrepenuer. Not only for myself but for my kids as well. Thanks,
Kevin Newman
