ADHD

Have you ever had difficulty sitting still or had problems concentrating at work or school, interrupted others during a conversation, or acted impulsively without thinking things through? Are there times when you’ve had difficulty focusing on the task at hand or when you’ve daydreamed?  Most people at one point have encountered these issues, but for others, these behaviors are difficult to manage and interfere with someone’s ability to succeed at school, home, with their career, or to maintain lasting friendships.

Treatment for the ADHD child typically requires a comprehensive approach. It includes interventions at the school, parent/child education regarding ADHD and its treatment, behavioral management techniques, and sometimes medications, when needed. Managing the negative behaviors of a child with ADHD can be overwhelming and challenging; however, with a good plan, these behaviors can be managed effectively.

 At Midwest Behavioral Clinic our therapists can help you manage you or your family member’s ADHD symptoms.
