Common questions
How do I know if my child should be evaluated for ADHD?
If trouble paying attention, restlessness or impulsive behavior has been causing problems at home and at school for more than a few months, it is worth talking about. Call and ask for an ADHD evaluation visit.
How old does my child need to be?
Most evaluations are done from age 4 and up, including teens.
Will my child have to take medication?
Not necessarily. The plan is decided with you. It can include support at home and school, behavior therapy, medication, or a mix.
What should I bring to the first visit?
Recent report cards or school notes, any past evaluations or IEP or 504 plan, and a list of any medicines your child takes. We give you the parent and teacher rating forms.
