The Statistics Are Glaring:
The most recent U.S. National Survey identifies 5.3 million children ages 3-17 have been diagnosed with ADHD.The 25,000 disability related complaints of 2011 to the EEOC equivocate to 625,000 total complaints. Why? Because 96% of complainers simply go away; statistically, only 4 % of the complainers actually complain.
The reason for the lack of complaints evolves from three issues
- Insufficient knowledge of the required process
- Human behavior
- Insufficient knowledge and access to legal resources
