AD/HD, often called an “invisible” disability, impacts children and adults in their learning, but also affects our self-esteem and the development of social skills so necessary to grow into healthy, self-sufficient adults. We founded ADHD Aware because we know that community has the power to boost self esteem, bring families together and change lives.
ADHD Aware supports the wellbeing of those affected by ADHD by creating a space where:
• Children discover strength in numbers and the power of acceptance
• Families find information and strategies designed specifically with the realities of their lives in mind
• Professionals can access the latest research on ADHD and its treatment
• The Greater Community discovers the courage and competence of those living with ADHD.

Attorney Natalie Knochenhauer founded ADHD Aware in 2008. Her goal? To empower people with ADHD while raising awareness and changing public opinion about this serious disease.
“I have ADHD, and so do my four children. I’ve been amazed at how little people know about ADHD, so I decided to stand up and speak out about our experiences. Many people don’t take ADHD seriously, and we need to change that.”
“We’re building a worldwide community of empowered ADHD families to speak out and change the way the world views ADHD. Even if you have just one hour to give, you can help us raise awareness.”
Join me and take a stand for change,
Natalie
