Welcome to the group, Gail. We have a couple things in common. I was once a non-traditional student and a paraprofessional. It was a long time ago, though, back when I lived in the San Franciso Bay Area- one year in Oakland and a few more in San Francisco. Presently, I'm a Special Education teacher and I work in an innercity PreK-8th grade public school in Buffalo, NY.
I'd love to find out more about your project. What grade level are you gearing it for? What's the topic of the web quest?

P.S. The "Center for Children and Families" at the University of Buffalo focuses on ADHD and ADD children. Their web site doesn't look fancy, but it offers some free downloads that you might want to take a look at:
