CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a national nonprofit organization focused on supporting individuals with AD/HD and their families. It serves a broad community through more than 200 local chapters, offering resources and programs for individuals, parents, teachers, and professionals, and it publishes the bi-monthly Attention! magazine for members while sponsoring an annual conference. The organization also coordinates the National Resource Center on AD/HD, a CDC-funded national clearinghouse that provides evidence-based information on the condition. Based in Howell, New Jersey, CHADD was founded in 1987 to address isolation and frustration experienced by families affected by AD/HD. The model is membership-led, with a network of chapters and online resources, including chapter contact information available through a centralized locator.
