Correctly identifying attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be tough. That’s because the symptoms of ADHD are behaviors you see in all children occasionally: distraction, hyperactivity, impulsivity. But children and teens with ADHD struggle with these symptoms at a level that interferes with daily living and can lead them to encounter problems with parents, teachers and classmates.
At the Child Mind Institute, we specialize in diagnosing these children and teens and providing them with effective, evidence-based treatments. If you are concerned about your child, we have availability for evaluations and treatment.

What’s ADHD (and What’s Not) in the Classroom
A lot of kids with ADHD are diagnosed when they start to struggle in school. Fidgeting, interrupting, losing homework, daydreaming — these are all common signs of ADHD. However, they can also have other causes. Whenever it looks like a child might have ADHD, it’s important to rule out other issues.
