The internet forums become an inseparable part for communication, information and support for parents with a child with special needs. With the rapid development of the technology, the almost unlimited access to the websites, more and more parents are seeking for online answers regarding concerns and dilemmas regarding their child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. The current study, using a qualitative study, examined 190 posts, regarding parents experience with a child with ADHD. Researchers coded the internet posts, and six main categories were derived: medical treatment; diagnosis aspects; recommendations for doctors; behavior challenges; schools and academic achievement; seeking for encouragement and support. The findings focused on the dilemmas and the enormous need for a support group among parents, suggesting planning specific online interventions with parents, in order to provide them useful social and behavioral tools, and to strength and improve their self perception and perceived well-being.

The present study aims to examine the correlation between students' performance on a family dynamics test and specific socio-demographic characteristics. The sample consisted of 225 children: 111 (49.3%) boys and 114 (50.7%) girls, with a mean age of 11.5 years. For data collection, the following were used: 1) A Self-administered Socio-demographic Questionnaire, 2) The Zachos Dictation Writing Test (DWT) and 3) The Family Dynamics Measure II Questionnaire (FDM II). The findings of the study indicated that most of the children produced a high number of spelling errors. They were found to have high scores on five of the six family dynamics dimensions, except for one. Statistical differences were found in four family dynamics dimensions in relation to demographic characteristics: Children's and parents' satisfaction with school performance, perceived difficulties in spelling, essay writing, arithmetic, oral and written tests, and leisure time utilization.
