"I go online for information," says Suzanne Guidry of Baton Rouge, La. "It is always readily available. It has been extremely helpful in helping find a diagnosis for my son."

With the ever-growing pace of Internet sites and the demand for up-to-date information from parents, there will never be a lack of information online. If you take the time and do your research, you will find many helpful contacts and informative articles that will ultimately give you a better sense of what ADD is all about. It is also a great place to chat with other parents who are facing the same obstacles. It is always nice to know you are not alone in your struggles.

Brandi Valentine, whose son was diagnosed with ADHD after a long battle with professionals, created the Web site ADHD News.com in order to help other parents in their struggle to help their children.

"I believe the site has helped others because the information I share is from parents who are in similar situations, dealing with similar issues," says Valentine. "I believe it gives comfort to parents to know they are not alone."

There are a lot of sites that offer recommended reading material for parents who have children that have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.
