Hi Kaela and Heaven, I thought your site was very good and I am glad that your group decided to touch on this very controversial topic of ADHD.

All the basic elements were very well organized and clear for the readers to follow, and the information was easy to track if the reader decided to later further their research on this topic with the links you provided. I did find a few grammatical and punctuation errors with some suggested corrections as followed: Under the title  Common conditions in the first paragraph, associated could be changed to associated with adhd  changed to ADHD Capital letters used for  adhd  to ADHD ...
