Information from www.adhdawarenessmonth.org:

“October is the ADHD Awareness Month and our 2016 theme is “Knowing is Better.” It’s better for parents to know that ADHD might be part of the picture so they can seek out the help their children need; it’s better for young adults to know about their ADHD so they might arrange for appropriate accommodations in school or the workplace; and it’s better for adults to recognize their ADHD instead of feeling destined to a life of underachievement and frustration.

Help us raise awareness of ADHD for parents, teachers, students, adults, and professionals working with those with ADHD. With increased awareness, more people can get the help they need to live better, more rewarding lives.”
