OUR CEO IS
JUST ABOUT TO COME OUT OF HIDING!!

There is a TON of cool new stuff coming, but the necessity of THREE successive (unexpected) moves in the last six months has pushed ALL of the time tables w-a-a-a-y back.
She just signed what is supposed to be an IRON CLAD lease until September 2008, and is busy setting up an office that will allow her to be organized enough to be accountable.
To preserve our sanity, we (the staff) talked her into extending OFI's "on hiatus" status until January 2008. That's when ongoing classes will resume and we will reschedule everything else to begin anew. Watch this space for registration announcements.
She is now "back" on line a couple of hours a day, but remember, she gets at least 100 emails a day, so it adds up... She (or someone) will get back to you as soon as we possibly can.
Thanks for your patience!!
Sincerely,
The Staff

ABOUT The Challenges Inventory™

Since the Goose Story's concept of "standing by each other" embraces the idea of each of us reaching out to those who are a little behind us in the process of learning to live happily with ADD, OFI's founder placed her Challenges Inventory ™ on the website as an added support structure. Madelyn developed this tool in 1994 to identify the relative importance of nine different characteristics that may be causing trouble in your life - ADD or not!. It helps clients and coaches determine which combination of Challenges apply to each unique, individual situation (since one size never fits anyone very well!)

You will eventually be able to scroll through a list of coaches who are certified and licensed to interpret and work with all the nuances of The Challenges Inventory™ -- able to explain how your scores relate to your life and what to do about it! For a quickie (and free!) explanation register for the bi-monthly ADD Hour /Q&A Support Group whenever it is posted to the calendar. Bring any of your other questions there too - that's what it's for!
