Recognizing the Signs and Effects of AD/HD |
|
When inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsive behaviors start to impair the way a
child functions, it may be a sign of AD/HD. Learning how to identify the symptoms
of AD/HD and understanding how AD/HD affects behaviors are among the first steps
you can take to help your child.

Diagnosis and Treatment |

Do you suspect that your child has AD/HD? Has a teacher suggested testing? Are you
having trouble choosing a doctor? Are you confused by the different treatment options?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may find it helpful to learn
more about diagnosing and treating AD/HD.
