Yes. As a parent, it can be distressing to find out that your child has ADHD, but with the right support, they can live a happy, full life. Our pediatrician Dr. Maria Nabong will work with you to put together a treatment and management plan that works best for your child. Generally, in younger children, behavioral therapy is the first approach, with medication being more common in older children (and adults) diagnosed with ADHD. It may take some time to figure out what works best for your child, and it may be a combination of supports, including medication and behavioral therapy. As a parent, having a pediatrician that knows your child and their history is an important piece of overall support. We’re proud to provide this at KidsHealth Pediatrics.
