Children who help others learn to recognize their own strengths, says Odyssey School's Nancy Wolf.

Children with AD/HD are used to being on the receiving end.They get extra help at school, as well as assistance from tutors, therapists, and doctors.Now some schools are giving them a chance to be on the other end-and finding that it imparts some valuable lessons.

At Odyssey School in Austin, Texas, a fourth-through-ninth grade school for children with learning differences, including AD/HD, community service is an important part of the curriculum.Each year, Odyssey's 50 students select five local organizations to assist.Recently, we spoke with the school's director, Nancy Wolf, to find out why pitching in is such a powerful learning tool.
