Each year 3% to 5% of families with school age children are affected by ADHD. The behaviors accompanied by ADHD are very difficult to manage at home and at school, creating significant problems for children, parents and teachers. Sierra Vista Child & Family Services can help your family with this troubling disorder.     How do we know it's ADHD? Distractibility - inability to pay attention, short attention span, makes careless mistakes, doesn't seem to be listening Impulsivity - acting before considering the consequences, interrupting, aggression and blurting out answers to questions. Hyperactivity - behaviours such as: constant fidgeting, running about the classroom, difficulty playing with others Children with ADHD may demonstrate one, two, or all three of these types of behaviors. The ADHD Clinic emphasizes a treatment model that addresses the multiple difficulties faced by children and families affected by this disorder. Successful treatment of ADHD requires all treatments taken together to address social, academic and emotional difficulties. Most importantly, we provide support and understanding of the challenges facing children and families affected by ADHD.
