ADD Resources, the first choice for quality ADHD information

Founded in 1993, Attention Deficit Disorder Resources (ADD Resources) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run mostly by adult volunteers with ADHD. We are dedicated to supporting, educating and serving as a resource for people with ADHD.

Attention Deficit Disorder Resources maintains an educational website, a bookstore, and a lending library with over 450 titles of ADHD books, audiotapes and videos. We publish a monthly eNews, (Our 8-page ADDult ADDvice quarterly newsletter is taking a break for now!), the 138-page Adult ADD Reader, and an outstanding collection of articles for adults and parents by national ADHD authorities as well as adults with ADHD.

We run three monthly support groups for adults with ADHD: one in Olympia, one in Tacoma and one in Seattle. We also run two monthly support groups for parents of children with ADHD: one in Tacoma and one on Mercer Island. ADD Resources presents special events including workshops for teachers, and ADHD adults; as well as annual conferences. We provide speakers on ADHD when requested.

Our Mission

The mission of Attention Deficit Disorder Resources is to help people with ADHD achieve their full potential through education, support and networking opportunities.

Our Vision

We serve and educate individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, those who interact with them and the community. As our resources and educational services expand, they will be made available throughout the country through technology. We will maintain a primary focus on building community among those who come to us, and we will create a support fund to assure that limited finances are not a barrier to receiving services.

We will, as an organization, create partnerships and collaborations for providing more effective services and resources. Throughout all our growth we will maintain quality in all that we do. Our board will exemplify the best in nonprofit governance, and we will maintain financial independence from all special interests.

What's Cynthia Hammer, ADDR's past Executive Director, Doing Now?

On December 31, 2007, after 15 years at the helm, I spent my last day as Director of Attention Deficit Disorder Resources and started my new career as an ADHD Coach. I feel well prepared to be an excellent coach because I

• Have a Master's Degree in Social Work.
• Have completed an accedited program in coaching.
• Have talked with numerous people with ADHD concerns over the past 15 years
• Have attended numerous workshops and conferences on ADHD and read many ADHD books.
• Have lived, and thrived, with my own ADHD for 64 years

Call me for a consultation around a particular issue or set up a series of scheduled appointments.  My phone number is 253-238-0729 and email is info@cythniahammer.com.  My website, for more information on me, my background, and my coaching philosophy visit www.cynthiahammer.com.

At your request, our coaching sessions can be recorded so you can listen to them again at your computer or download to an MP3 player. I also offer teleconferencing, where both you and I use webcams so our images appear on each other's computer screen as we talk on the phone.

We congratulate and support Cynthia as she enters her new career!
