NATIONAL LEARNING AND
ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDERS ASSOCIATION - LADDERAD/HD is better known as hyperactivity in Britain, the correct medical term
is hyperkinetic syndrome. The American term is AD/HD (Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder); often referred to as ADD when hyperactivity is
not present. ADD tends to be used synonymously with AD/HD. The support available at the highest levels of the medical profession both
here and abroad and our regular attendance at US conferences, means that
LADDER's information is accurate, factual and up to date. Although most of
members are parents or adult sufferers, and all the support and information
necessary for those struggling to cope with the disorder is offered, the
professional bias and high proportion of professional members and
uncompromising stance towards the highest quality of information means that
LADDER has become quickly known as the group best placed to help people with
AD/HD in the country. If you feel that AD/HD is a problem for you, your family,
or anyone else, do please contact the Association. LADDER was the first and is now the premier national registered charity in
the AD/HD field in this country which provides up to date information on the
disorder, and a true multi-disciplinary approach, based on medication,
psychological and educational interventions. The Association is in regular
contact with the few professionals working in the field in this country, as
well as many of those abroad. There are also links with American and Australian
groups. There is also a large library of information. Educational meetings for
parents and professionals are held in various places, and this will continue as
information is expanding throughout the country. Please write to LADDER and
enclose a stamped addressed envelope with your enquiry.
