How can you tell if they know about ADD ADHD? — ADD Tip o the Day 540

Finding a knowledgeable professional – a followup

Hard to do.  Lots of misinformed people, including professionals.  Other things can mimic ADD ADHD. I assume most ADD ADHD certified coaches know what they’re doing.

Good suggestions:

From mike: look them up on the net.  Are they reviewed?  Have they published? Does someone else refer to them in a book or other place?

Check with CHADD or other ADD ADHD organizations.

Someone else made another good suggestion but I’ve lost it!  Can you repeat it?

Who knows about sensory processing disorder (SPD)?

How do you distinguish it from ADD ADHD? Do I have both, or is my hypersensitivity just part of my ADD?

I’m not sure about this:  on sensory processing  disorder
