Welcome to CHADD of Anne Arundel County, Maryland!


About us: 
We're glad you're here!  CHADD of Anne Arundel County has a long history of supporting individuals and families struggling with the effects of ADHD.  It is a dynamic organization that can make a big difference in your life, whether you are seeking help for yourself, a child, other family members or a friend. 

We are a group of volunteers who know from firsthand experience the impact ADHD can have on a life and a family!  Our Chapter networks with local experts of all kinds who seek to provide help, support and understanding wherever it is needed.  Plus our connection to the CHADD National organization means we have access to tremendous resources that none of us could possibly have on our own.

We also build awareness and understanding in the community about attention disorders to create a better environment for those with ADHD.  We provide educational presentations to schools, workplaces and other programs to bring the latest information regarding the disorder as well as interventions that work. 

 


Please join us at our Monthly Meetings!  We do not meet in June, July or August
