ADD Health and Wellness on CH 5 Evening News 4/12th – Boston
Did you know that ADD is almost as heritable as height? Join us and the Rehman family (Kelly, Ben, and Ali) in our Channel 5 Evening News interview on Adult ADD. ADD affects so many families and the genetics are strong. If your child has ADD, the chance of you (a parent) having the condition is 31 – 40%. If you the parent have ADD, your child’s risk for having ADD is over 50%. And if one child in your family has ADD, the risk for their sibling having ADD is 20 – 25%. It’s not surprising there is significant impact on families! In response, we are proud that the community is taking such an interest in our integrated model for diagnosing and treating ADHD for both children and adults. We commonly work with several members in a household to support their needs around counseling, testing, coaching, medication management, academic supports, parent skills training, and nutrition. Here is the Rehman family to share their experience with you.
