When I learned ADD-friendly study techniques in my junior year of high school and, for the first time, made the honor roll in both semesters of my senior year. I went on to get great grades in college. I love showing how intelligent I am. -An ADDitude Reader
When I set up my son's IEP and watched his personality bloom. It has helped his self-confidence to the point that he tells me about the great day he's had at school when I get home from work. -Jamye, Colorado
