Welcome!

Northern Illinois Satellite of CHADD

********NEW***********
Join us on Meetup.com/CHADD-Northern-Illinois/

We hold monthly support group meetings for anyone living with AD/HD and/or caregivers, spouses/partners, educators, professionals, etc. looking for information, education, and understanding. Meetings are Free.

This group is facilitated by Eric Tivers, LCSW, MSSW. Eric is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and a Certified School Social Worker in private practice. He specializes in working with individuals and families living with ADD, autism spectrum disorders, and other related disorders.

There will be a new topic presented each month by the facilitator or other guest speaker.   Topics will be announced ahead of time on this site as well as on Meetup.com where you can, and are encouraged to RSVP.  Click here to go to our meetup page. There will also be opportunites to ask questions, share ideas, and gain support. 

 
Our meetings are held the 3rd Monday of each month - from 6:45pm to 8:30pm.

**If you are not a CHADD member, or are new to CHADD, please register your contact information with CHADD so that we can contact you about local activities. 

 Do you need information and resource help? As a volunteer, I try to respond as quickly as possible to all requests about our local CHADD group.

However, if you have a more pressing need for information or assistance about the many aspects of dealing with AD/HD (including diagnosis, treatment options, educational rights, etc.), please contact CHADD’s National Resource Center on AD/HD (NRC), online at www.help4adhd.org or by phone at 800-233-4050 (press option 2, Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm Eastern time).  

The NRC is staffed by trained Health Information Specialists who can answer many of your questions about AD/HD and provide other helpful information and resources.  (NOTE: although the NRC does not provide legal, medical or other professional advice, Specialists can offer ideas and suggestions to help you find what you are looking for).

Disclaimer:  CHADD does not endorse or represent products, services, publication, medications or treatments. Meetings are free and open to the public, although membership with CHADD is strongly encouraged, since your local group will receive a portion of your dues to continue supporting your community.
