Finally, support, advice, and direction for families struggling with the diagnosis of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. In The Seventh Inning Sit, author, ADHD Parent to Parent Family Instructor, and pediatric nurse Karen Lowry demystifies a disorder that affects three to five percent of American children. In this powerful first-hand narrative, she reveals her own poignant journey with her youngest son, for whom she was forced to learn how to become an advocate for his educational rights in a system wrought with inaction and ignorance.

5Karen Lowry: The Seventh Inning Sit: A Journey of ADHD"  Jun 26, 2010
By Michael S. Johnston "The Indie Media Show"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R315J1ME6GMXU1 As a parent advocate, Karen Lowry is a force to be reckoned with in terms of helping parents of ADHD children navigate the school system, and never take No for an answer when it comes to lobbying for a child's right to a quality education.

Colleagues that have worked with Karen, say her expertise about ADHD and her vigilance in advocating for her children is inspirational. Through taking Karen's classes, many parents have learned that ADHD is a disability that affects their children in every aspect of their lives, and if they don't stand up for their kids, no one else will.


Karen Lowry holds a B.S. N. degree in nursing from the College of New Jersey and a masters degree in pediatric nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. One of her most rewarding experiences has been working as a staff nurse in pediatric intensive care unit a Philadelphia's Children's Hospital.

5The Importance of Advocacy  Aug 23, 2009
By Karen K. Lowry
this is a book that takes researched information about ADHD and applies it to the author's child. The journey helps parents understand how to advocate for their child with ADHD and how many in the educational field either dont understand it or do not have the tolerance to affectively deal with children who are struggling with it. This all leading to failure and lowered self-esteem. It shows that it is the parents' responsibility to ensure an education that allows for success.
