Child and Adult Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Assessment - We provide comprehensive assessment of individuals who are suffering from symptoms of ADHD as well as an in-depth report documenting the individual strengths and weaknesses found in the assessment process. Through administration of various measures, a diagnosis of ADHD may be confirmed and documented. Specific recommendations are tailored to each individual's strengths and weaknesses that are manifested in the neuropsychoogical test data.
Behavior Management - We work together with the adult and his or her support system or with the child and his or her family to develop a plan to manage behaviors in the home, school and/or at work. For parents, we provide parent consultation in helping to develop a plan to manage problematic behaviors and ongoing assistance with managing the plan to meet the specific needs of their child.
School Accomodations - ADHD affects the child's ability to inhibit behavior and focus their attention in school. We work with the family and school in order to develop a plan to assist the child or adult in succeeding academically. We will meet with the school team in order to develop this plan and provide consultation for the classroom teacher(s).
Medication Management - We understand that using medication for ADHD is a personal preference and some are wary about using medications. We work with pediatricians and psychiatrists to monitor the effects of medication to ensure the proper dosage with the least side effects if the family and individual decide to try adding medication into the treatment plan.
