CHADD –The National Resource On ADHD
Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) was founded in 1987 in response to the frustration and sense of isolation experienced by parents and their children with ADHD.

Many clinicians and educators knew little about the disability, and individuals with ADHD were often mistakenly labeled “a behavior problem,” “unmotivated,” or “not intelligent enough.”
ADHD is medically and legally recognized as a treatable yet potentially serious disorder,...

Professor Cottom ’s Graduate School Guidance
Dear You,
So, you think you want to go to graduate school.
Whether you are considering a masters, doctoral, professional, research, or applied degree program, there are some things you need to consider.

Advice necessarily assumes to know who you are, your limitations, interests, values, talents, and circumstances. Mentoring, on the other hand, assumes none of these things and instead gets to know you before offering up suggestions for what you might do. Alas, I am one person and cannot a...

He had a deep appreciation of our creative life and considered spirituality a central part of the human journey. His method of interpretation of symbolic expression not only deepens our understanding of personal material, opening the psychodynamics of our pers...
