Inattentive ADHD Coalition

Description

The Inattentive ADHD Coalition (IAC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded on March 31, 2021, by Cynthia Hammer, MSW. In the beginning its mission was that children with inattentive ADHD are diagnosed by age eight, and adults with inattentive ADHD are readily and correctly diagnosed when they seek help. However, since our founding we have a broader understanding of the issues and now seek to improve the lives of all Children with ADHD with early detection and care

ADHD is a congenital disorder affecting more than 6 million US children. The sooner it is diagnosed and treated, the greater the chance for better outcomes.

• ADHD affects 9.4 % of US children.
• ADHD has a high comorbidity rate with other behavioral, emotional and learning problems and disabilities.
• Untreated ADHD often destroys lives.
• Children with ADHD are frequently born into families where one or both parents have ADHD.

Our initial work is to find individuals and organizations who share our vision, to learn the best practices to achieving universal ADHD screening, and to raise the money needed to fund these activities.
