My primary goal is to help all children and adults with this disorder and to provide them with the opportunity to learn how to become motivated, successful learners, to receive social acceptance, and to live drug-free.My secondary goal is to help parents of children with ADHD and adults with ADHD realize that the guilt or shame felt, due to the resulting problems, need not be a continual burden. Many of my clients have indicated that they were made to feel responsible for their child's anti-social and inappropriate behavior and that their approach to parenting was the cause. For the over 1000 families with whom I've worked, this couldn't be further from the truth. Every one of the parents indicated they had tried every conceivable approach recommended: parenting classes, psychotherapy, marriage counseling, medication, behavior modification techniques, etc. with limited success. With this group of families, the majority had tried, or were still using, medication as a means of controlling the symptoms. None were content to use medication as a long-term approach and hence their interest in a drug-free alternative.
