Hello, I'm Mike Gingerich, LCSW, Ph.D. (Licensed Clinical Social Worker; Board Certified in Clinical Social Work). As a mental health practitioner for the past 38 years, I've seen hundreds of ADD people of all ages. I've got ADD and LD myself! I'm also a parent. ADD has had a profound effect upon my life, both professionally and personally. I have learned a great deal from ADD, as well as about it.
