The guide points out that alcohol and other drug abuse prevention efforts should include information specific to the person's disability. It offers suggestions to bring about positive interactions with persons with ADD, notes four commonly held myths about ADD and facts dispelling the myths, and lists four organizational and nine printed resources for more information.
