Events throughout the week will include a bilingual "Understanding ADHD" workshop Sept. 15 at Columbus Magnet School in Norwalk, Conn.
"This workshop is ideal for parents and teachers to begin to understand the disorder that is so prevalent in our society but simultaneously so misunderstood," Norwalk Deputy Corporation Counsel Jeffrey Spahr said in an e-mail to Norwalk newspaper The Hour. "Who hasn't heard some comment about 'having ADD' following a forgetful moment or a comment about a kid 'being on medication' or 'needing some Ritalin' when a child is seen running in a store full of energy?"
