Get Moving!
CHADD is part of a social movement more than 20 years in the making that seeks to reshape how society treats, accommodates, and views people with AD/HD. Our movement is made up of countless individuals with AD/HD, their families, teachers, friends, and leaders in the mental health field. We realize the most effective way to accomplish our goals is through sustained and strategic outreach to policymakers on the state and federal levels. The leaders of our movement are recognized and respected in the halls of Congress, in statehouses across the country, and in meetings where public policy is interpreted. The CHADD Web site provides you with information on public policy and how you can take action. We look forward to seeing you on the frontlines. Click here to learn more
