ADHD
Every child learns, plays, and grows in their own way. But when attention difficulties, impulsivity, or hyperactivity begin to interfere with school, friendships, or family life, it may be time to seek answers. At Great Destinations Pediatrics, our experienced team provides compassionate, evidence-based evaluations for ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and ADD (Attention-Deficit Disorder) to help families better understand their child’s needs and create a clear plan forward.
Why Evaluation Matters
It’s normal for children to be energetic, curious, or distracted at times. But ADHD/ADD is different. These conditions can affect a child’s ability to concentrate, follow instructions, stay organized, or manage their emotions—often leading to frustration at school and stress at home. A professional evaluation helps distinguish between typical behavior, learning differences, and attention-related disorders so your child gets the right support.
Our Approach
At Great Destinations Pediatrics, we take the time to get to know your child and family. Our evaluations include:
- A detailed medical history and developmental review
- Input from parents, teachers, and caregivers
- Behavioral questionnaires and rating scales
- A thorough physical exam to rule out other medical causes
- Personalized recommendations based on findings
We believe in looking at the whole child—not just the symptoms. This means we also address sleep, nutrition, screen time, and emotional well-being as part of our evaluation.
Support Beyond the Diagnosis
If your child is diagnosed with ADHD/ADD, you won’t be left to navigate next steps alone. We provide:
- Education for parents and families about ADHD/ADD
- Behavior and lifestyle strategies to support focus and emotional regulation
- Collaboration with schools to help with accommodations and learning support
- Medication management when appropriate, with close follow-up
- Ongoing care to adjust strategies as your child grows
