Attention-Deficit Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, ADD, AD/HD ... programs aired live on August 9, 1999 and December 5, 2000

There are nearly as many names for the disorder as there are opinions about its diagnosis and treatment.

KET’s two Kids’ Health Call-In programs on this topic have given viewers the chance to phone in and ask our expert panelists about symptoms and what they should do if they suspect their child has ADHD/ADD. The programs also cover recent research and treatments and offer resources where parents and caregivers can find help.
