10 Helpful AD/HD Resources

Don’t panic. Stay focused. LD.org puts everything you need at your fingertips, and help is only a click-of-a-mouse away.

Our team has compiled a list of the most up-to-date information and resources to offer guidance and support about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). The fact is, AD/HD and LD are not the same thing, but AD/HD certainly can interfere with learning and impact behavior. As many as one-third to one-half of people with LD also have AD/HD.

Here’s a list of resources that will answer your questions about these often co-occurring disorders.  

We begin with a selection of AD/HD-related videos and articles, and have also included a link to books on AD/HD recommended by the LD.org community. Then, scroll down to view ten online resources selected by the NCLD team, for more information about AD/HD.
