Meet CHADD
Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder – “CHADD” for short- is a non profit organization dedicated to educating, supporting and advocating those who are affected by ADHD. CHADD of Utah holds monthly meetings and support groups where parents and family members have the opportunity to learn more about how to help their loved one. This month, Dr. Knight had the honor of addressing the group about the benefits chiropractic care has on children suffering from ADHD/ADD.
