What do you know about ADHD? Chances are you might have a general idea about what it is or that it might affect someone that you know but there is much more to what ADHD is that is not seen above the surface. In fact, those that are being diagnosed with ADHD are raising in numbers over the past few years.
Do you stay up to date on facts about social and learning struggles?
ADD and ADHD is two different disorders.
At one time ADHD was different from ADD, one including having hyperactivity and one did not. Now they are both considered as a part of ADHD. Medical professionals are defining diagnoses by the severity as mild, moderate or severe and then labeling its presentation. A presentation can be an inattentive type, hyperactive-impulsive type or a combined type.
Key takeaways
- In the past few years, the numbers of those that have been diagnosed with ADHD have increased by over 3 percent.
- Where there used to be a difference between ADD and ADHD now everything is medically defined as ADHD whether there is the hyperactivity present or not.
- There are symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that are still in the same category of ADHD but at different levels.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
