Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) are two similar conditions that are prevalent to society and are often viewed as common place in today's school systems. In fact, according to the National Institute for Mental Health in 2003, it has been estimated that approximately three-to-five percent of school aged children in the United States, or about two million of our nation's youth, have been diagnosed with ADHD. Two-thirds of these children will still see characteristic symptoms into adulthood.
