ADHDKCTeen is a group for middle and high school students with ADHD who want to empower themselves. With our activities and website resources, tweens and teens will be able to learn more about ADHD and Executive Functioning so they can gain independence and learn to thrive.
We are a subgroup of the popular ADHDKC.org, an award-winning CHADD chapter.
CHADD – A Non-Profit Organization
Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD), is a national non-profit, tax-exempt [Section 501(c)(3)] organization providing education, advocacy and support for individuals with ADHD.
CHADD does not endorse, recommend, or make representations with respect to the research, services, medication, treatments or products.
CHADD believes that information about products, services, publications, medications and treatments should be made available to its members so they can make informed decisions for themselves and their families. As such, CHADD does not endorse products, services, publication, medications or treatments.
Our local group
Local professionals, such as psychologists, coaches, and physicians volunteer to teach teens about ADHD and skills to use to overcome common challenges at our monthly meetings.
Teens can support one another as they learn about themselves and ADHD.
