Hey there, wonderful humans!

Our ADHD community is facing critical challenges—from telehealth restrictions to threats against disability protections. These are unprecedented times that call for action! Together, we can make a difference.

As a community, we are at risk of losing:

• Treatment options for ADHD- Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Proposed Rulings
  The DEA’s latest proposed ruling would put extreme limitations on telemedicine usage and treatment for people with mental and behavioral health conditions (including #ADHD), halting cross-state telemedicine services, and limiting Schedule II prescriptions through telemedicine visits (including ADHD meds).
• Section 504 protections, in both educational and workplace settings - The lawsuit Texas v. Becerra (2024), filed by the attorneys general of 17 states, is arguing to have Section 504 eliminated, which could mean that students with disabilities could lose essential accommodations as schools might no longer be required to provide extra time on tests, note-taking support, or even basic accessibility measures.
• Funding that helps support CHADD and the ADHD community - Your voice matters. Your experience with ADHD matters. Now is the time for you to take action and be an advocate for the ADHD community in whatever way you are able to contribute.

1. Support CHADD: Strengthen the ADHD Community

CHADD plays a vital role in advocating for individuals with ADHD, providing resources, and supporting families, educators, and professionals. With recent threats to ADHD treatment access and disability protections, CHADD’s work is more important than ever.

Here’s how you can help:
✅Become a CHADD member – Membership helps fund advocacy efforts, research, and support programs.
✅Make a donation – Every contribution, big or small, helps CHADD continue its mission.
✅Spread the word – Share CHADD’s resources with your network to help more people access reliable ADHD support.

Visit CHADD.org to learn more, get involved, and stand up for the ADHD community.

2. Texas v. Becerra (2024) Action Steps:

• Reach out to your state’s Attorney General to either ask them to withdraw from the lawsuit, or to file an amicus brief in opposition to it.
• Reach out to your Congressional Representatives and Senators.
• Details are available via DREDF.org​
• Thanks to our colleague, Gretchen Wegner, for doing some excellent research on this topic. For more detail, visit her article.
