Have you visited ADDer World the interactive site? If you are related to ADHD in any way, be it that you have ADHD yourself, related to a person with ADHD, or have a friend who has ADHD or maybe you are an educator, coach or mentor?
Any of the above? All good reasons to join www.adderworld.ning.com
Our members include people from many different backgrounds, adults with ADHD, parents of ADHD children, teachers, coaches, mentors, therapists, journalists, authors, advocates, doctors, public servants and some who are simply, magnificently, a friend of someone with ADHD.
Today we welcomed our Newest Member to ADDer World (as of this writing):
Nancy Ratey – She is the author of the new book: The Disorganized Mind: Coaching Your ADHD Brain to Take Control of Your Time, Tasks, and Talents. I very recently reviewed Nancy’s book here on ADDer World.
Nancy Ratey is a major advocate for those with ADHD. Having dyslexia and ADHD herself, Nancy engineered her own road to success. Nancy graduated from The Ohio State University in 1982 and, in 1991, she earned a Master’s degree in Education from Harvard University, specializing in administration, planning and social policy. While employed as a resident student advisor at Harvard, she began working one-on-one with ADHD students who came to her because they knew she was personally familiar with their struggles. At Harvard, she started a speaker series that not only encouraged students to seek accommodations from the administration, but which also helped shape Harvard’s policies on working with students with learning disabilities and ADHD. Nancy became a leader in the field of disability rights and was invited to give expert testimony to a congressional committee concerning the historic Americans with Disabilities Act.
A wholehearted welcome to Nancy Ratey to ADDer World!
You too can become a member of ADDer World and join in on our discussion forums and blogs. We have so many wonderful members who are contributors to the ADHD community and care about each other enough to step up and lend a hand in various extraordinary ways.
