CHADD - Children & Adults with ADHD

11/25/2025

The 2025 International Conference on ADHD brought together researchers, clinicians, educators, and community leaders for three unforgettable days of learning and connection.

As CHADD President Jeremy Didier put it best: “It’s like the world’s biggest family reunion… surrounded by people who understand you without judgment.”

🚨 A major shift in Washington just put students’ IDEA and Section 504 protections at risk.

Six Department of Education programs were quietly moved to other agencies—another step toward dismantling the DOE. For kids with ADHD, that means the offices that protect their rights could be weakened or split apart.

The good news? The programs that defend children with ADHD and other disabilities haven’t moved yet. There is still time to act.

📣 Tell Congress to reverse these transfers and keep these offices where they belong.

Visit the ADHD Advocacy Center and send a message to your federal representatives. Your voice truly matters.
