If you wish to know more about parents to children with ADHD, you are advised to read Exploding Myths on ADHD. And, yes, our role is mentioned in this article.

Demystification is the formal educational of “explaining to the child the facts about their learning disabilities and helping them to understand the challenges and strengths learning disabilities can bring.”
Demystification is actually a wonderful tool for helping children overcome their learning disabilities because it enables children to understand how they learn. They identify and understand their individual strengths and weaknesses – thereby learning how to advocate for themselves.
