ADHD in New York
Long Island
Hi, I’m a new parent on this site and wondered if anyone knows of a Long Island Chapter for ADD/dyslexia?
I¡Çm a signle mom of twins, work full time, with one child that has ADD with dyslexia and the other child with slight learning delayed disability. I am here as an adult ADD woman who wants to help my child feel less frustrated, and be proud of himself and do well in school. This is effecting his self esteem and it breaks my heart that I can¡Çt make it all better. Doing homework is so difficult this year (5th grade) and I have been starting to see specialists and get opinions of others. Now I¡Çd like to speak and learn from other families that live like mine. Thanks.
