About Steven Ledingham

D. Steven Ledingham, B.S., L.N.H.A. was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder at the age of 39. Since that time he has been extremely active in exploring treatments, compensation techniques, and self-help and support group systems. In 1989, he co-founded one of the first Adult Self-Help groups in the United States. Steven Has written two books on Attention Deficit Disorder, including: "The Scoutmaster's Guide to ADDA", and with Reed Robertson co-authored "The ASK Guide To Running A Successful Self-Help Group For ADD Adults." He is the co-author of "The ADDed Dimension-Daily Suggestions for ADD Adults," by Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo.

Steven established what he calls the "ASK SYSTEM" which is a self-help group program and structure which includes both program (content) materials for Adult ADD groups, as well as a specific system for facilitating them that can be done by both the "non-professional" as well as the "professional trained facilitator." Steven provides training for Scout leaders in the Tucson area, but is also interested in helping Scouting leaders nationally. As an active speaker at conventions, I may be in your area. If you are interested please contact me perhaps I can speak to your Scouting leadership.

Steven has worked actively as a computer systems integrator and network consultant, and was the "Web master" of the ADDA site for its entire first year prior to the creation of ASK about ADD web site. Previously he worked for three years at the University of Arizona, as the director of the Biology Learning Center, a computer assisted biology instructional facility. He is currently on the ADDA board of directors as the Self-Help and Support Group Chairperson. Steven is a very active writer, speaker and ADD coach living in Tucson, Arizona.

Steven is currently (1998) releasing Version II of "The Scoutmaster's Guide for ADD," as well as working on various projects for the National Attention Deficit Disorder Association, CHADD, and contributing to several new publications in the field.
