Colleagues,
According to recent studies, about 15% to 18% of children in the United States have a chronic health condition. The presence of a chronic condition or disability affects all family members. Often, the psychosocial needs of the various family members are overlooked, and these children and families are at greater risk for developing mental health problems.
Today's newsletter focuses on issues related to children and chronic illness.

3. EMPOWERING PARENTS
ADHD: Disorder or Difference?
What a difference one word can make. Suppose we changed the last D in ADHD from "disorder" to "difference." We could then say that a child with ADHD has some significant differences in his cognitive ability, emotional sensitivity and activity level when compared to other children.

Children with Disabilities: Understanding Sibling Issues
The birth of a child with a disability or chronic illness, or the discovery that a child has a disability, has a profound effect on a family. Children suddenly must adjust to a brother or sister who, because of their condition, may require a large portion of family time, attention, money, and psychological support
