Welcome to the PANDA BLSO internet site!
Who are we?
PANDA BLSO (People Apt at Negotiating Deficits of Attention – Basses Laurentides Sud-Ouest) is a non profit community organization that developed an English chapter in 1997. For more information on the History...
PANDA was created to respond to the needs of parents living with children with Attention Deficit /Hyperactivity Disorder in the region. Over the years PANDA has expanded its services to include information about ADHD over the lifespan in adolescence and adults with symptoms.
Our philosophy is to provide a safe and non-judgemental support and information service to anyone who is living with the challenges associated with inattention, impulsivity and or hyperactivity with or without a diagnosis. Our priority is to offer strategies to help reach ones full potential.
PANDA BLSO is a member of the “Regroupement des Associations de Parents du Quebec.”
Main objectives of the Association: 1. To help people develop a better understanding of Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity.
2. An exchange of ideas to help people with their behaviour and learning who live with symptoms of ADD/HD.
3. To provide people with an opportunity to share with each other their experiences and exchange successful and practical strategies.
4. To sensitize and inform the community about ADD/HD.
5. To support the all partners involved in the project in working together. (Parents, School setting, CSSS...)
6. To identify and improve the existing resources.
