Common Disorders - What are they and what does it mean to me?

Parents, teachers and students often have concerns about issues with which they, or someone they know, may be struggling. The links below will give you access to “Instant Help Charts” regarding these disorders. Each chart includes: how to assess the problem, best treatment approaches, do's and don’ts for parents and teachers, medication, neurological considerations, and more. It is a great way to get a sense of these disorders and to assess what other action(s) should be taken. These are not meant to replace a diagnosis by a certified professional, but instead can be used to shed some light on questions or concerns you may have.
