ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts a child’s ability to focus, control impulses, and regulate energy levels. It can affect academic performance, social interactions, and emotional well-being if left unaddressed.
Common symptoms include difficulty staying focused, impulsive behavior, excessive energy, trouble sitting still, forgetfulness, and disorganization. If your child exhibits these behaviors frequently and across multiple settings, it may be time to consult a specialist.
ADHD is diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation that includes interviews with parents, teachers, and the child, as well as standardized behavior rating scales. A psychologist may also assess how the symptoms impact the child’s daily life.
Our clinic offers evidence-based therapies such as Behavioral Therapy to manage impulses, Parent Training to support the child effectively, Social Skills Training to improve peer interactions, and Collaborative School Support to enhance academic success.
