ADHD

This came from an article in Education Weekly, "Shortages of ADHD Medications in Classrooms,"  By Jaclyn Zubrzycki

"The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta, estimates that more than 7.5 percent—or 5.4 million—of the nation's school-age children have ADHD. The condition is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity—behavior that can interfere with learning."    

This is an issue!  Thoughts?!?
