Statistics

"ADHD - attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - is one of the most common mental disorders among children. It affects 3-5% of all children, perhaps as many as 2 million American children." From the National Institute of Mental Health, NIH publication No. 96-3572.

"As many as 1 out of every 5 people in the United States has a learning disability. Almost 3 million children (ages 6 through 21) have some form of a learning disability and receive special education in school. In fact, over half of all children who receive special education have a learning disability." From the Twenty-fourth Annual Report to Congress, U.S. Department of Education, 2002.
