A Journey Into

ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER

Updated November 15, 2002

Goal of this Web Site:

To accomplish this goal, I authored a series of newsletters. Well known AD/HD experts such as Dr. Claire Jones, Dr. Bruce Pasch, Cynthia Pasch, M.Ed, Dr. Ed Hallowell, Dr. Katherine Nadeau, Mary Jane Johnson, Larry Saltzman, Dr. Sarah Roth, Dr. David Rabiner, Wilma Felman, Sigmund Boloz, and other professionals graciously contributed to the newsletters.  Initially the newsletters were available by subscription but time pressures have prevented me from continuing them on a subscription basis.  They will be made available on this website. 

Thank you for taking the time to complete the questionnaires and sending your comments. Many have had questions, comments, and requests to share the narratives. These responses will add to the web page and newsletters.

Available educational / informational publications:

"Hear My Cry, A Journey into Attention Deficit Disorder," An Educational Perspective

These journal articles will be incorporated into this website. They include excerpts from the web page narratives, articles by professionals in the field of AD/HD, and stories about life experiences with AD/HD. Research, home and school strategies, and management of day to day living with AD/HD will be shared. The journals also address:

1. Selected personal interest 'first person' stories: Real people sharing their fears and joys
   

2. Opportunity to connect in small, personal ways with others through responses to questions in the newsletters, e-mail, etc.

These newsletters focus on adult issues of AD/HD and are of interest to adults with AD/HD and all interested in acquiring an understanding of AD/HD.

"The A.D.D./A.D.H.D. Friendly Classroom"

This special back-to-school issue of Hear My Cry will also be made available on the website.  It is not yet available electronically.
It  is a one-time Back to School special issue for teachers and parents (to share with teachers). It has strategies, interventions, and helpful information regarding teaching and parenting chldren with ADD/ADHD to help them reach their God Given potential. 

"Celebrate the Differences"

These are 8 page newsletters focusing on AD/HD issues for children and adolescents. They include writings from professionals, personal experiences, current research information, and a "What to do" section.

REFLECTIONS

I am collecting letters to loved ones expressing thoughts, regrets, joys, and reflections from those living with AD/HD. I plan to assemble all these into one collection called "Reflections". All contributions will remain anonymous.

Men Speak Out !

 There is not enough information regarding men and AD/HD today.  To improve on this situation, I am collecting narratives through my web page from men experiencing AD/HD. I plan to assemble all these narratives into one collection called "Beyond the Confusion." All contributions will remain anonymous.

I would also like to hear from professionals who are interested in writing informative articles for this journal. Please e-mail me at Bev@bevkprice.com.

I am looking for ADD organizations, clinics, camps, schools, classes, etc. related to ADD that would be interested in linking with this Web Site and/or advertising in the Journals.

As an educator, I experience working with three to four children per year who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. My hope is that education will promote an understanding and acceptance of Attention Deficit Disorder. I am currently writing a book combining education and personal narratives. In this Web Site, I have included general information from my research. I am looking for experiences about children and adults with Attention Deficit Disorder to add to my research. My hope is to help people understand living with Attention Deficit Disorder. If you are interested in helping me relate a realistic picture of our world with AD/HD, please fill in the Questionnaire. Thank you for your time. Please send any comments or questions to my e-mail address. I welcome all correspondence.

I have been very fortunate. Many wonderful people have contacted me and have been willing to share their ADD experiences. It has been very helpful to me in my own personal and educational growth.

Many are writing experiences from the heart describing life with Attention Deficit Disorder. Journey with us into the feelings and experiences of Attention Deficit Disorder. Journeys includes Hear My Cry--Journeys into Attention Deficit Disorder.

Many people are interested in sharing with others regarding their A.D.D. experiences. Find the Pen Pal Page.

Many young adults have shared their experiences. Share with them on the Young Adults Forum Page. (Or write your own and send them to me.)

I am looking for experiences to add to my research to help readers understand the symptoms and how they relate to every day life. My goal is to educate teachers and parents, to help them understand how attention problems affect children's organization, social, emotional, and academic progress. I also hope to help adults with A.D.D. understand they are not alone. There is a brighter tomorrow. Please help me by taking a few minutes to fill out all or part of the Questionnaire. All information gathered will remain anonymous. If you have any questions please e-mail me.

Thank you for your responses, interest, and honesty in sharing your life's experiences. We will all benefit.

I was recently contacted by Dr. Kathleen Nadeau about adding a link to the ADDvance Resource Site for Women and Girls with ADD. This site contains a wealth of information about ADD for women and girls. The link and description are:

The ADDvance Resource Site for Women and Girls with ADD is the only site on the web dedicated to females and their special concerns. The ADDvance Site lists resources for women, provides articles on women and girls, and lists support groups and women in search of support groups across the country.
