Many ADHD specialists recommend behavior therapy for children with ADHD. But parents who heed this advice often find their kids on months-long waiting lists. Now, according to an Dec. 8 post on the News Anchor Mom blog, that wait may get considerably longer for parents in Illinois:

The state [of Illinois] is behind on its payments to speech therapists and developmental therapists by 2-3 months. Many of them are looking for new jobs because they cant pay their bills& If therapists dont start getting paid, [Sarah] Ziemba worries kids will really struggle to get the help they need in a timely manner.

Typically, the younger children are when they start therapy, the better they will do in school.
