Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder

By the end of the day, your wits are at end. Your child was reprimanded for not sitting still, not listening, and causing trouble. The homework wasn’t done, the class work not finished, and you are tired of teacher’s phone calls. That is why you are here, and ready to get help.

Attention Deficit Disorder, what is it, how do we diagnose it, and finally how do we treat it.

First, what is not ADHD?

A child with Attention Deficit with or without hyperactivity is not:

Stupid
Lazy
Unmotivated
A Dreamer
A troublemaker
A clown

What they are is:

Frustrated

Scared Lonely

And looking for Help

ADHD is a brain-based disorder that if untreated, can lead to poor school performance, poor social relationships, poor self esteem, and continued difficulties throughout adolescence and adulthood.

What can you do?

Make an appointment to see us. We will go through a questionnaire (you can download the questionnaires, and fill them out before coming in to save time), a history, and then discuss diagnosis, management, and treatment options.
