Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health condition that can make it very hard for children to focus on their schoolwork or other tasks, regulate attention, and sit still. While all children exhibit these behaviors occasionally, for children with ADHD, their intensity and frequency cause significant problems.
An expert will diagnose a child with ADHD only if inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity occur:
- More often than is typical for children the same age
- Over an extended period of time
- In more than one setting — both at home and at school, for example
If you are concerned about your child, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us today.
FOR CAREGIVERS
School Refusal Parent Training and Consultation
Whether your child needs help in school or at home, our therapy services empower both children and their families to understand and overcome struggles with ADHD and behavior disorders.
Our experienced ADHD psychologists and social workers utilize various treatments matched to a child’s age, specific symptoms, and degree of impairment. Treatment plans are supported by research and personalized by our clinicians to meet each family’s specific needs. Evidence-based approaches, such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), are effective in addressing ADHD symptoms across a child’s development.
FOR EDUCATORS

Professional Event: Fostering Friendships and Social Connections
Please join us for an informative professional event focused on helping students build friendships and social connections.
All kids encounter friendship challenges growing up. Some may need guidance dealing with day-to-day conflict or bullying. Others may have underlying conditions that affect their ability to make and keep friends — like anxiety, ADHD, or autism. This presentation will explore friendships and social skills for children, emphasizing common social-emotional issues and what to expect at various developmental stages. Our clinical experts will provide research-backed strategies that educators can use to help students navigate today’s complex world.
