Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects approximately 5-7% of children and often continues into adulthood. Characterized by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, ADHD can significantly impact a child’s ability to succeed in academic, social, and emotional contexts. Symptoms vary widely among individuals but commonly include difficulties in maintaining attention, managing time and organization, and moderating activity levels. The condition is often diagnosed in early school years when children face challenges that require a consistent focus and adherence to classroom rules.
Understanding the impact of ADHD is crucial, and a thorough evaluation can be the first step toward effective management. Our evaluations are designed to assess a child’s attentional capabilities, impulsivity, and overall executive functioning through a variety of standardized tests and observational assessments. By gaining a detailed insight into a child’s unique challenges and strengths, we can develop personalized intervention strategies that may include behavioral therapy, educational accommodations, and, when appropriate, medication. Our goal is to provide children with ADHD the tools they need to navigate their symptoms effectively, enhancing their ability to learn, interact with peers, and participate more fully in daily activities. Through our comprehensive and compassionate approach, we strive to help each child achieve their full potential, both academically and personally.
