In response to repeated requests for articles previously
published in ADDvance Magazine we have created the ADDvance
Focus Series, available online at a reasonable cost.
All articles were published previously in ADDvance Magazine,
co-edited by Kathleen Nadeau, Ph.D. and Patricia Quinn, M.D.
Some articles have been edited or adapted, as appropriate,
for online publication in this format. Each Focus Series title
contains a cluster of articles all focused on the same ADHD-related
topic.
