About Us: Therapy for Adolescent Teens Oppositional Defiance Disorder (2007 – Present)
Our Journey
Founded in 2007, Therapy for Adolescent Teens Oppositional Defiance Disorder (TATODD) has been a dedicated online resource for parents, caregivers, and educators navigating the challenges of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) in teenagers. Over the years, our website has evolved to become a trusted hub for accurate information and support, with a simple yet powerful mission: to empower those affected by ODD and promote understanding.
Our Story and Milestones
The idea for this site stemmed from a gap in reliable online resources about ODD, a common but often misunderstood behavioral disorder. Our founder, Dr. Emma Wilson (AI-generated name), recognized the need for accessible, unbiased information to support teens and their families. With a team of dedicated professionals, we set out to create a comprehensive guide that would fill this void.
Since its launch in 2007, TATODD has achieved several significant milestones:
- 2008: Introduced our first interactive forum, allowing users to share experiences and strategies.
- 2009: Published an extensive research database, covering various aspects of ODD treatment.
- 2010: Collaborated with renowned psychologists to offer expert webinars, reaching a global audience.
- 2012: Expanded our team to include a network of mental health advocates and therapists.
- 2015: Launched a mobile app, making resources more accessible on the go.
- 2018: Overhauled our website design for an improved user experience.
- 2020: Introduced personalized recommendation engines based on user preferences.
