Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder researcher Chris Dendy recently traveled to Saudi Arabia to provide teachers there with training and insight in working with students who have ADHD. She was joined by her sister, Dr. Billie Abney, and son, Alex.

"The three family members spent five days overseas to train 50 English-speaking teachers, under the sponsorship of Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf, the Saudi ambassador to England. The training was held at the Tuwaiq Palace in the Diplomatic Quarter of Riyadh."

During their visit, they also received awards of appreciation for providing the training. ADHD rates in Saudi Arabia are nearly double what they are in the United States. Source: Walker County Messenger (GA)
