In addition to evaluations, our clinic provides ongoing consultation services to support families and schools in managing ADHD. We work closely with parents and educators to develop and implement individualized education plans (IEPs) or 504 plans, and behavioral interventions that help children succeed academically and socially. Our team also offers training and resources to equip caregivers with strategies to support their child’s development at home and in school.
