school. CHADD's Parent
Empowerment Program is a one-day
workshop for parents of children with disabilities -- including
ADHD and related conditions. It empowers parents with information and
resources to help improve child behavior and school
achievement.
Empowered
Parents are their child's best advocate and the bridge
between home and school.
Empowered Parents know
their child's rights under federal law and communicate effectively with
teachers and other school personnel.
