Treatment

After receiving a thorough assessment by an ADHD-trained mental health or healthcare provider, a treatment plan will be developed that addresses you or your child's most significant struggles. A comprehensive treatment approach tailored to the unique needs of the individual often allows for the greatest success.

Research-supported interventions and treatments for ADHD in children age 12 and under include:
  • education about ADHD
  • parent training/coaching in behavior management
  • medication(s)
  • behavioral modification/therapy
  • behavioral interventions and supports in the classroom (504 plans, IEP, tutoring) 
  • a combination of treatments

Research-supported interventions and treatments for ADHD in adolescents and young adults include:
  • education about ADHD
  • parent-teen training/coaching in communication and problem-solving
  • medication(s)
  • behavioral interventions and supports in the classroom (504 plans, IEP, tutoring)
  • ADHD coaching (self-awareness and skills training)
  • a combination of treatments

Research-supported interventions and treatments for ADHD in adults include:
