Education & Research
At The Society for ADHD, we are committed to empowering individuals, families, and communities through education and awareness. We provide accessible, evidence-based resources to help people better understand ADHD, its challenges, and its strengths. Through workshops, webinars, and advocacy efforts, we work to dispel myths, promote acceptance, and equip individuals with the tools they need to thrive. Our mission is to create a more informed and supportive world where ADHD is understood, embraced, and accommodated.
RESEARCH STUDIES
The Society is collaboratively supporting two research projects:
A Public Health/Community Research Study
Our operationalized public/community health collaborative research study seeks to produce data that supports our hypothesis that improved access to care directly improves quality of life, and decreases symptoms, accidents, and at-risk behaviors, ultimately lessening the negative outcomes and the financial implications of untreated neurodiversity (including ADHD)..
This project intends to explore the prevalence of neurodiverse conditions in marginalized communities/persons and assess the effectiveness improved awareness and education has on perceived stigma, and willingness to obtain care (once made accessible).

ADHD on Campus Study: Understanding Student Experiences and Support Needs
The ADHD on Campus Study explores the academic experiences of undergraduate students with ADHD in the United States, focusing on how they navigate college and perceive the support services available to them. This project uses a mixed methods approach—including in-depth interviews and survey research—to provide insights into the challenges college students with ADHD face, their strategies to succeed, and the effectiveness of institutional resources. The findings aim to inform better interventions that improve academic outcomes and, in turn, help mitigate the broader health and economic impacts of ADHD in adulthood.

The Society for ADHD is dedicated to advancing education, awareness, research, and advocacy for ADHD, with a focus on marginalized and underserved communities. We provide accurate, culturally relevant information about ADHD's impact on individuals and families through workshops, webinars, and multilingual resources, collaborating with community organizations, schools, churches, and corporate sponsors. In partnership with VOICE for Neurodiversity, we highlight the intersection of ADHD, poverty, and systemic inequities through research addressing the unique challenges of marginalized ADHD communities and train advocates to empower individuals to navigate educational, legal, and workplace systems.
