Short Description :	Parents for Label and Drug Free Education. An organization dedicated to fighting against the subjective labeling (ADD, ADHD, OCD, ODD) and drugging of America’s children.
Detail :	This organization provides information to parents and custodians regarding the many subjective labels assigned to today's children and the many dangerous risks associated with drug treatment. The information they provide is critical to the informed consent process. Extensive information is available on this site about ADD and ADHD, as well as on drugs like Ritalin, Adderall, and Paxil. Many members of this organization have advocated strongly for legislation outlawing school personnel from recommending psychotropic drugs for children within schools across the nation. This organization was instrumental in the lobbying and passing of the new Federal law titled “Prohibition on Mandatory Medication Act” recently signed into law by President Bush. This law is now part of the 2004 Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and stands as the first of its kind outlawing forced drugging on a federal level.
