Children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have unique physical, developmental, educational, and social needs. At Nemours, our child behavioral specialists use standard guidelines developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and information from people who know your child well like teachers, caregivers, and you to help address ADHD symptoms in children.
Our behavioral health experts use a family-centered, team approach to provide outpatient psychological evaluations, consultations, and other treatments to care for children with ADHD.
