All too often, kids (5-15 yo) with behavioral issues at home or school (impulsivity, inattention, rule breaking, homework difficulties, aggression) are simply diagnosed with ADHD and medicated into submission - with poor outcomes or troublesome side-effects. Alternatively, kids demand constant monitoring or discipline enforcement, leaving parents and families disrupted, angry and stressed. Prognostically, kids can grow up to have conduct disorders, personality malformations, substance abuse problems, mood disorders and adult ADHD. Not good. This weekly, 10-session program is an alternative approach: directed at empowering parents with positive incentive and reinforcement strategies, smart and effective discipline and punishment techniques.

Small groups are available to help children work on their gross motor, fine motor, sensory processing, and self-regulation skills while interacting with other children and building social skills and self confidence. We find that often children are able to achieve higher levels of communication and socialization with adults, but struggle with their peers. Small groups give children the chance to build social skills from the bottom up and while having fun.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
