ADHD
Your child is more than their ADHD diagnosis – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can impact children, teens, young adults, and adults. From challenges at school and strained relationships to mental and physical health challenges, the impact and characteristics of ADHD vary in severity from person to person.


What Is ADHD
Characteristics and Symptoms of ADHD
Children and teens with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) aren’t purposefully disobedient or oppositional. The problem is that ADHD can make it difficult for them to do things they find challenging or boring. Due to their underlying neurological disorder, they may also have difficulties controlling their behavior and paying attention. It can also cause them to have difficulty controlling their actions when they get frustrated.Inattention
