When it comes to special needs Twitter has turned into a global support group providing support and sources of information to families with special needs. Once a month we highlight people on Twitter who provide great resources and support to those with special needs.
This month we focus on people and organizations on Twitter that provide resources for individuals that have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
You can also check out Friendship Circle on Twitter for great resources and articles dealing with special needs issues.
Know someone on Twitter that provides great ADD/ADHD resources? Please add it to the conversation in the comments section.
