Did you know that Olympic über-medalist Michael Phelps was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) at age 9? Now his mother, Debbie Phelps, is offering her hard-earned insights into this disorder on a new Facebook online community: www.new.facebook.com/adhdmoms.
Community leaders like Phelps, a middle school principal, serve as resources to other moms, sharing what they’ve learned on topics such as how ADHD affects the entire family, coping with classroom challenges, building confidence, managing ADHD during the holiday season and, most importantly, guiding these special children to reach for their dreams – even the Olympics!
