Abstract	This briefing paper uses a question-and-answer format to provide basic information about children with attention deficit disorder (ADD). Questions address the following concerns: nature and incidence of ADD; causes of ADD; signs of ADD (impulsivity, hyperactivity, disorganization, social skill deficits); the diagnostic ADD assessment; how to get one's child evaluated for ADD; treatment of ADD (education about the disorder, behavior management, medication, and appropriate educational programming); helping to improve the child's self esteem; determining if the ADD child needs special education; the child's legal rights for special education; and locating a support group. Three inserts list the diagnostic criteria for ADD, identify specific strategies for improving the self-esteem of the child with ADD, and summarize a recent policy clarification from the U.S. Department of Education. A selected bibliography lists 12 print materials and 5 relevant organizations. (DB)
