Manchester Pediatric Care For ADHD/ADD
Our ADHD Pediatricians Help Your Child Succeed
If your child seems to have a difficult time focusing, they could have
ADHD/ADD. ADHD is a disorder characterized by difficulty sustaining attention
and focus, especially when in the presence of other stimuli. At
Manchester Pediatric Associates, we have been helping children with attention challenges since 2011. Our
pediatric team understands the challenges that your child faces each and every day, which
is why we are dedicated to helping them find a solution.
Some common symptoms of ADD/ADHD include:
- Difficult time focusing on one task at a time
- Frequent careless mistakes
- Difficulty following instructions
- Organizing tasks are overly challenging
- Forgetfulness
What's the Difference Between ADD and ADHD?
The "H" in ADHD stands for hyperactive, which has created a misconception
that people who have ADHD are loud and impulsive. It is important to understand
that ADHD is actually an umbrella term which covers a variety of attention
disorders, including ADD.
ADHD is split into three main types: primarily inattentive, primarily hyperactive-impulsive,
and combined. All three of the types have different social styles that
range from withdrawn to excitable. Understanding which type your child
has is the first step in finding the right help.
Helping Your Child Find Academic Success
Unfortunately, children with ADHD are labeled as "bad students"
when they are unable to complete tasks or stay focused during class time.
While schools have become more aware of each child's individual differences,
many students go undiagnosed and do not receive the more strategic educational
style they need to achieve success. At Manchester Pediatric Associates,
our team of pediatricians is dedicated to providing quality ADHD care
that places your child's needs first. We can help understand what
kinds of strategies and educational methods will help your child absorb
knowledge more easily.
Taking care of a child with ADHD can be difficult if you don't understand
what it means. Give us a
