Hi everyone,

I am at the midway point of completing my MBA and I am required to complete a research project that includes a survey. As the parent of a child with ADD research into this area is my passion so it was an easy choice as to which topic to choose.

If any of you with ADD or ADHD diagnosed child would be able to complete the survey below to help this graduate student out I would greatly appreciate it! All information will be kept completely confidential and individual details and names will not be used in the project.
