ADHD: Evaluations and Treatment

You are ready to rip out your hair.

Just once, you would like to give an instruction and have it followed. But how often does that work?

You are exhausted after a long and stressful day. The last thing you have is patience for non-compliance.

But it may be more than that.

Imagine a child who listens for a change.

Imagine asking your child to do something… and having him do it.

Imagine not having to repeat yourself 17 times.

Imagine him “listening.”

What if your child is listening?

Your child may not just be difficult. Rather, he may be listening and simply unable to comply.

Have you considered another explanation?

Your child may have Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

What is ADHD and what symptoms are displayed?

ADHD is a condition that makes it difficult to focus, pay attention, or control impulsive behaviors.

Does your child find it difficult to pay attention for extended periods of time? Does he consistently interrupt others? Does he exhibit an inability to focus?

If the answer is yes to these questions, an ADHD evaluation may be appropriate.

ADHD also can be seen in adults.

Why have you always had a hard time remembering where you placed your keys?

Why can’t you ever seem to finish a task before moving on to another one?

ADHD is not just a childhood disorder.

Although symptoms typically begin in childhood, ADHD can continue through adolescence and into adulthood.

Problems with inattention, disorganization, and poor impulse control can affect you at home and at work.

But it does not have to keep getting in your way.

Evaluation and diagnosis precede treatment.

Without knowledge of the problem, you might be looking to solve the wrong one.

Before we can treat a problem, we need to know what that problem really is.

Once an evaluation and appropriate diagnosis have been completed, the real magic can happen.

Call today to answer the questions that are most pressing.

This may be the first step to really understand how to start moving toward goals for either you or your child.

Imagine organization. Imagine completing tasks. Imagine a new life today.

Evaluation is the first step; and if it is ADHD, treatment is possible.
