About CHADD

The Monroe County CHADD Chapter serves South Central Indiana, with our meeting place at the Public Library in Bloomington. We meet from September through May on the second Tuesday of each month. Our current officers are Coordinator – Joan Hart; Treasurer – Mary McGann; Librarian – Julie Fry.

Our local CHADD group has focused on providing the most recent medical knowledge on AD/HD. We are especially proud of our efforts to educate parents about their children's legal rights to a free and appropriate public education.

This past year was very eventful and we hope to continue that success by beginning the year with this conference.
