Hi K., I went on google to see if I could find anything to help you. After looking at several web sites, I think this one will offer you a lot of help.

To answer your question yes there is, but you have to be on medicade. After that they have a behavioral program you can enroll in and counselors to see. Also Scottish Rites hospital has a program to be tested fully and program information after that.

Just FYI you can file for SSI because that is concidered a disability and they have all kinds of groups and outside help they know of. Also if you have insurance call them and ask what support they have for ADHD, most of them can give you support groups.
Good Luck,
