There are several good PDFs on behavioral therapy, they discuss what is going to happen during these sessions, how long they go, and what a good therapist should do.

This website again offers a lot of information that can be stressful and difficult to look through. However their sections are often short and easy to read through. If you scroll down it says ADHD Basics, I think that is a good place to start. It gives symptoms and what to look out for pre diagnosis. It then gives treatments, such as therapy, or medication. It also goes into different mental disorders that can come from ADHD that parents might want to keep an eye out for, such as depression and anxiety. I think that is really important for parents to read because those are common to find in kids with ADHD. It also gives different age groups that you can read on. And information on will your kid outgrow ADHD, or is it caused by video games. Which might not seem as important but are interesting to read up on seeing as it discusses how ADHD symptoms and behaviors in your child can change over time, but they still have ADHD.
