Becker, PhD, Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center When my son got his diagnosis, I felt overwhelmed.

We are finally rebuilding the connection that I thought was lost forever. Thank you, Dr. Barkley. --Krystle B., Gladstone, Australia
