Kids and teens with ADD, ADHD or a Learning Disability rarely get the chance to be recognized for their outstanding achievements. I am happy to report that there is an opportunity to change that.

Do you know an outstanding child or teen with ADD, ADHD or a learning disability?

Do you want to show this special child how proud you are, and how much you respect him or her?

Here is your chance:

Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities is seeking nominations for its 2007 Youth Achievement Award.

Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities is a non profit organization dedicated to empowering the parents of children with learning disabilities (LD) and attention-deficit disorder (ADHD).

The application for the award can be found here: application. The deadline is January 31, 2007.

The Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities website says:

“Nominations are now open for the fourth annual Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities Youth Achievement Award. This year’s $1,000 award recognizing the great strengths of young people with LD and/or ADHD will be given to a high school (or younger) student who has demonstrated initiative, talent and determination resulting in a notable accomplishment in any field—including art, music, science, math, athletics or community service. Honorable Mentions will also be awarded.”

The award will be presented on May 17, 2007 at a benefit dinner. The 2007 award will be presented by David Neeleman, CEO of JetBlue Airways, and honorary chairman of Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities.

It has been reported that last year, Smart Kids received applications for 22 states and Canada. If you live outside of North America, please contact Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities to find out if you are eligible to apply.
