Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that becomes

years. It is hard for these children to control their behavior
and/or pay attention.
A child with ADHD

and understanding from the public education system. This
DVD offers information from different perspectives on ADHD
and its management, including research on medications and
behavioral interventions, as well as helpful resources on
educational options.
The purpose of

that exists about ADHD.
