"ADHD Right to Learn" Advocacy Campaign
Since CADDAC launched our ADHD Right to Learn Advocacy Campaign one month ago, many of you have sent an e-mail or tweet to your elected official and Minister of Education asking that they support CADDAC's ask. Thank you!

But we still need many more of you to take just a few minutes, really that is all that it takes, to send an e-mail or tweet.

Did you know that your elected official believes that you, their constituent, do not care about ADHD and therefore questions why he/she should care. Read about this in full here...

CADDAC needs your support! Please take two minutes to send an e-mail or tweet to your elected official and Minister of Education. Our online ADHD Right to Learn advocacy system makes it easy and quick for you.

A Parent's Story (part 1 of 2)
Amanda was a high school drop out due to lack of ADHD support from her school. She had to relocate to another province in order to finish Grade 12 - while having a baby on her lap.

She had already seen the impact of ADHD in the lives of her grandfather, father, brother and herself. Now she sees history repeats in her eldest son and worries for his future.
"My son has little chance of succeeding in life if someone does not start taking his matter seriously. We are asking to be truly heard by someone who understands these issues."
