CHADD Announces Youth Golf Initiative for Children with AD/HD at
Olney Golf Park
For a second year, 30 young people with AD/HD will be able to receive
free golf lessons in a junior golf clinic at Olney Golf Park in Olney,
Maryland, a CHADD program made possible through grants from
the United States Golf Association and the Toys"R"Us Children's
Fund, Inc.
If your child is between the ages of 6 and 17, has been diagnosed with
AD/HD, and is willing to come to eight one-hour classes held every other
Saturday between July 12 and October 25, you are invited to apply. This
program is open to members and nonmembers of CHADD. Acceptance is on a
first-come, first-served basis, with preference to children who have not
had previous golf lessons.
This program will increase the personal and skill-based confidence level
of the young golfers, model appropriate social behaviors for children
with AD/HD in an informal setting, increase healthy social interaction
among peers, increase healthy social interaction between adults and the
child participants, and increase awareness of AD/HD and its management
through educational materials.
The deadline for applications is July 2, 2008.
Please fill out and mail or email the application for the Youth Golf Initiative for
Children with AD/HD today. By mail, send the completed
application to CHADD Youth Golf Initiative, 8181 Professional
Place, Suite 150, Landover, Md. You can download the application, fill out, scan, and email
to youthgolf@chadd.org .
Parents in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC, are encouraged to
print out and distribute this information to friends and at
meetings.
