ADD/ ADHD Educational Resources for home school like support groups and links to websites can help you deal with Attention Deficit Disorder in your child. Having a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can be a significant challenge for any parent, but home schooling often compounds issues. However, public school is often a very difficult place for a child with ADD / ADHD to learn effectively.

Given that your child has ADD / ADHD and you are home schooling, you will find great comfort in resources that will help you effectively treat, manage, and deal with this learning disability. There are many parents in our Learning Abled Kids' Yahoo Group who are home schooling children with attention deficits and/or hyperactivity disorders. Please join our group, and check out the resources below.

Your journey through home schooling your bright, energetic child may be challenging at times, but it will also bring untold joys.
