Letter from Elisabeth d’Ornano: A person’s development before birth
The process of bringing a child into the world begins before conception, with our thoughts towards that new being, and from then on a trio is formed by the father, the mother and the child, filled with great potential. We are conditioned by our thoughts, creating our own future and influencing our children via our thoughts.

A few words from Elisabeth d´Ornano
While last year most of our efforts were focused on ADHD as a developmental disorder, and on how to help those suffering from it , including the people surrounding the child, this year our intention is to focus more deeply on that development process, starting from the initial identity of an individual and its influence throughout a person’s lifetime.

Video on the Association
During our first year of life, at the Elisabeth d’Ornano Association we have carried out a number of activities aimed at fulfilling our primary goal: Fostering knowledge of ADHD among parents, teachers and physicians, in order to arrive at a more precise diagnosis and a more adequate treatment for those who suffer it. This video summarises this message with images of our team in action.
Thoughts on Prevention
As a summary of our II Annual Conference and of our guide about “The Emotional Development of individuals before birth”, we invite you to enjoy this visual and emotional presentation which captures the main aspects of the guide. Here we highlight some of the essential elements which need to accompany the early development of the human being.
Throughout 2010 the Elisabeth d’Ornano Association has edited these brief guides in Spanish (shortly they will be available in English), which pick up the most relevant aspects to have in mind by parents, pediatricians and teachers who form or deal with ADHD children. The information has been synthesized to provide a simple and quick reading. These guides can be downloaded free of charge by clicking on the front page of each.
ADHD
Elisabeth d'Ornano Association
Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) begins to manifest itself in childhood, and in some 30 to 65% of people it lasts through adolescence into adulthood.
In those who suffer from it, apart from the distress caused by its own symptoms, the disorder causes problems in interpersonal relationships, problems in being accepted by others, an increased risk of starting and continuing the consumption of toxic substances, a greater predisposition to suffering from some form of psychopathology in the future, a greater frequency of failing out of school, of exposure to risk, of difficulties in maintaining a job, etc.
The Elisabeth d'Ornano Association has been established with the aim of improving educational and clinical care to patients with ADHD.
The Association was created to try to help many more children have an accurate diagnosis as early as possible aiming to develop an infrastructure of research and support for people with ADHD and their families in order to improve their personal development and knowledge about the disorder .It also aims to make biological environmental and educational interventions available.
The association is a new project focused on Spanish territory. The Association also wants to create a dynamic information flow with other countries. If you are interested in sharing knowledge or your experiences with us, please send us a mail to: info@elisabethornano.org
