About AbleChild

AbleChild is a non-profit 501c3 national parent’s rights organization dedicated to protecting full informed consent and the right to refuse psychiatric services. Ablechild educates parents on the risks associated with drugging children and promotes a label and drug free education in our schools. AbleChild has no religious or political affiliations.

AbleChild: Parents for Label and Drug Free Education is a nationally recognized Non-Profit Organization (501c3) dedicated to parents, caregivers, and children’s rights alike. Incorporated in New York in November 2003, Ablechild is steadily moving toward ensuring that all caregivers are provided with a safe haven, resource center, and support network when faced with issues surrounding subjective labels (ADD, ADHD, OCD, ODD, and the many others) assigned, and drug “treatment” prescribed, to our nation’s vulnerable children.

Founded in 2000 by parents who had their own personal experiences with label and drug coercion by the education system, Ablechild has a personal commitment to inform, support, and unite others faced with all aspects involving labeling and drugging children.  Ablechild has a  full understanding of what a parent/caregiver goes through when dealing with school systems recommending, and many times pressuring a parent for mental health evaluations.  We recognize that schools will many times force-feed mental health approaches on parents, while steering clear of science-based education resources and solutions.

Ablechild’s Board of Directors consist of doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other mental health providers dedicated to protecting the health and well-being of children.  These true professionals wholeheartedly support parental rights, informed consent (full disclosure), and a parent's right to choose. 

Ablechild has recognized the fact that "Junk Science" pervades our nation’s schools and is being misrepresented to parents worldwide, as scientific fact!!!  We encourage all parents and caregivers to fight for their right to full informed consent!!! Do not accept solely based on what you are told, but question, delve, and more importantly always re-question. 

One of Ablechild’s goals is to provide all parents/caregivers with the information that is sadly, being denied them, and at the same time optimize public awareness of child labeling and drugging. The information provided on this site is critical to the informed consent process. 

The American Medical Association couldn’t have said it any better when in 1999 they were quoted: "Informed consent can be effectively exercised only if the patient possesses enough information to enable an intelligent choice." 

Extensive information is available on this site about ADD and ADHD and other subjective labels.  Information on drugs used in “treatment”, such as Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Wellbutrin, Paxil, Effexor, as well as many others, is also available and is located throughout this site.  We strongly recommend that you take your time in carefully reading through the information we have provided for you. 

Knowing that informed consent is a must and a critical component in making an educated decision, Ablechild and many of its individual members have worked diligently since 2000 to provide the public with extensive information at Federal, State, and Local Governmental hearings, at educational conferences, events, Governmental meetings, and throughout national and local media circuits.  We have directly advocated and worked on creating laws that would strengthen “Informed Consent” and guarantee a person's “Right to Refuse” psychological testing and services via the education system. 

Many members of this organization have advocated directly for state and federal legislation outlawing school personnel from recommending psychotropic drugs for children within schools across the nation.  We can proudly say that our organization and the united efforts of its members were instrumental in the lobbying and passing of the Federal law entitled “Prohibition on Mandatory Medication Act”.  This law is now part of the 2004 Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and stands as the first of its kind, outlawing forced child drugging on a federal level.

Our Objectives 

Ablechild.org (Parents for Label and Drug Free Education) is intent on refocusing  schools onto educational issues as opposed to psychological ones.  Our national grassroots organization is working towards reform in these many areas:

• Labeling and Drugging Children
• Proper and Full Informed Consent
• A Parent's Right To Choose
• Real Medical or Educational Issues Behind Behavioral/Attentional Issues
• Helping Parents get Accurate Information
• Working to Protect Children in State Care 

Our Organization is making great strides to improve the educational future of all our children.  Within the last three years, We along with many other individuals and organizations have contributed to bringing educational reform to the forefront.  One issue of priority is the rampant drugging of our children, which has reached near epidemic proportions (in the neighborhood of 9 million children).  Our goal is to correct the direction that the educational system is heading and redirect it from "medication" to Education.
