ADD Resources, the first choice for quality ADHD information

Founded in 1993, Attention Deficit Disorder Resources (ADD Resources) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run mostly by adult volunteers with ADHD. We are dedicated to supporting, educating and serving as a resource for people with ADHD.

Attention Deficit Disorder Resources maintains an educational website and a bookstore. We publish a monthly eNews, (Our 8-page ADDult ADDvice quarterly newsletter is taking a break for now!), the 138-page Adult ADD Reader, and an outstanding collection of articles for adults and parents by national ADHD authorities as well as adults with ADHD.

We run monthly support groups for adults with ADHD: one in Olympia, one in Tacoma and one in Seattle. We also run two support groups for parents of children with ADHD: one in Tacoma (quarterly) and one on Mercer Island (monthly). ADD Resources presents special events including workshops for teachers, and ADHD adults; as well as annual conferences. We provide speakers on ADHD when requested.

Our Mission The mission of Attention Deficit Disorder Resources is to help people with ADHD achieve their full potential through education, support and networking opportunities.

Our Vision We serve and educate individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, those who interact with them and the community. As our resources and educational services expand, they will be made available throughout the country through technology. We will maintain a primary focus on building community among those who come to us, and we will create a support fund to assure that limited finances are not a barrier to receiving services. We will, as an organization, create partnerships and collaborations for providing more effective services and resources. Throughout all our growth we will maintain quality in all that we do. Our board will exemplify the best in nonprofit governance, and we will maintain financial independence from all special interests.
