What Is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), sometimes called ADD (attention deficit disorder), is linked with hyperactivity, impulsive behavior, and attention problems in both children and adults. It's estimated that up to 12 percent of school-aged children and 6 percent of adults have ADHD, making it harder for them to focus on tasks, manage their time, control their behavior, or even sit still.
When families first contact us, they want to know if their child's struggling with homework or impulsive behaviors are due to a Neurologically based disorder, such as ADD, ADHD or a Learning Disorder, or is it just a behavioral problem or lack of motivation?
Your call for help begins to define itself in the web form you fill out on this site. Getting to know the problems you are experiencing gives us the clues we need to know how to proceed. The phone consultation is next and that will tell us what we need to know about whether or not we can help and how.
After this, when we feel we can help you, we will make an appointment for a private consultation, in our clinic or over the phone if distance is an issue. Then we will continue the interview process in person that was begun on the phone. We need to gather information to arrive at the answer we need, does CRSS offer the best program to meet your needs and if so, how can we help you.
Your questions and ours can lead to the evaluation/assessment appointment which precedes the formulation of an Strategic Plan for Rapid Success. When addressing ADHD, we also encourage our clients who are taking ADHD medications to work closely with the prescribing physician. The same measures and checklist used to determine the need and dosage for medication, should also be used throughout the treatment process as the need and dosage requirements typically decrease.
