CAUTION: Informational sources are helpful resources for those being treated for ADHD but have limited benefit without treatment, because, as Dr. Russel A. Barkley, PhD Stresses, “ADHD individuals do not have a problem knowing what to do, they have a problem doing what they know."

Adding more knowledge to a brain that does not adequately transform knowledge into action is of little value.
