89-98% of children with ADHD have deficits in executive skills*

This often becomes evident when a child begins middle school where demands on memory and organization are greater.

*According to ADHD expert Russell Barkley

In 2007, researchers discovered

The brains of ADHD students mature 3x times more slowly than the brains of their peers

Because of this, even very bright students can perform poorly in school.

2/3 of children with ADHD also have at least 1
co-existing condition, such as depression or anxiety
