Andy is a little boy, who no matter how hard he tries is having trouble keeping still and paying attention for long periods. He gets into trouble often and his school work is suffering. But it all changes when his mother decides to seek answers for his problems. Active Andy is a child-friendly look at Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and includes some of the processes from diagnosis to treatment, in hopes of helping children, like Andy, understand better what they are going through, as well as to dispel the notion that they are simply naughty. With better awareness of self and the situation he is experiencing, Andy gains a increase sense of self-confidence as he seeks to improve his general functioning.
