It is also a place where you can share your thoughts and ideas about what works in your family or for you as an individual, providing support to others in the process. Our online community is a place of respect, caring, and education about ADHD.

Teachers are so important in our children's lives. Their jobs are demanding. Along with parents, teachers are incredibly influential and play a pivotal role in a child's learning, happiness, and development of a positive self-image.

Please take a few moments to share what it is that you value about your child's teachers, past and present. In what ways has a teacher helped your child overcome obstacles associated with ADHD and experience greater success?

Also, if your child has a teacher who is new to ADHD what are some of the things you would like this teacher to understand about ADHD and its impact on your child?
