“We will hold community leaders and elected officials accountable for putting measures in place to reduce the stigmas affecting our youth, but we will also hold our youth accountable for making negative choices.  It’s about being a leader and not a follower.” 

  RECOGNIZING ADHD IN CHILDREN

There are three core symptoms of ADHD: inattention, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity.

Any child can have moments of being inattentive, impulsive, or hyperactive. Children with ADHD, however, experience these symptoms repeatedly and in a way that is severe enough to have an impact at home, at school, and in social situations. In addition, these behaviors may not seem appropriate for the child's age.
