No Child Left Inside <http://www.nclicoalition.org/>

"Two surveys of parents of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder have shown that performing activities in green settings can reduce the symptoms of AD/HD....Adding trees and greenery near homes and schools and encouraging kids with AD/HD to go outside may help supplement established treatments to improve functioning." To learn more and to view the scientific study, visit our Nature Deficit Disorder page <http://www.cbf.org/site/PageServer?pagename=act_sub_actioncenter_federal_nclb_naturedeficit>.

///The No Child Left Inside Coalition is a broad-based organization made up of more than 600 member groups from across the United States. Our membership, which is growing steadily, includes environmental, educational, business, public health, outdoor recreation and conservation groups. With tens of millions of members represented, the NCLI Coalition speaks for a diverse group of Americans who believe young people should receive a strong education about their natural world. The Coalition's focus is passage of the federal //No Child Left Inside Act/ <http://www.cbf.org/site/PageServer?pagename=act_sub_actioncenter_federal_nclb_amendment>/. This legislation will authorize major new funding for states to provide high-quality, environmental instruction. Funds will support outdoor learning activities both at school and in non-formal environmental education centers, teacher training, and the creation of state environmental literacy plans./
