The ADDs Up Resource Center

Br. Aresto and Ms. Cox put together a program at Marist for their students
with ADHD. They are beginning to work with other schools and the community,
helping them to set up similar programs to address the needs of students
with ADHD. Their presentation to CHADD of Chicago will include parts of the
presentations they make to students, schools, and other groups.



It is an exciting and innovative program that is working on the frontline,
helping students reach all of their potential.



We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday to both learn from Brother Aresto
and Ms. Cox as well as encourage them in their work.
