With such increase in awareness, many parents start to wonder whether their own child may have a touch of ADHD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If your child seems unable to keep up with his or her\u00a0peers,\u00a0or seems to get in trouble more than others then you may have concerns about ADHD and wonder what you should do. Treat it like every other challenge in parenting:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">1- Get the information you need<br \/>\n2- Make sure you understand it<br \/>\n3- Become empowered to make the best choices for your child<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This article will help you get started with: \u201cHow is ADHD diagnosed?\u201d and \u201cWhat if ADHD is diagnosed?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Get the information you need : <span class=\"s1\">Choosing a doctor and understanding how ADHD is diagnosed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_a_doctor_for_ADHD_diagnosis\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Choosing a doctor for ADHD diagnosis<\/strong>.<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There\u2019s no single test that will tell you whether your child has ADHD. \u00a0In fact, the diagnosis often begins with a parent or teacher recognizing that the problems are beyond the child\u2019s ability to control. \u00a0After that moment of recognition, prompt diagnosis by a specialist is critical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You should seek a diagnosis\u00a0from\u00a0a specialist with significant experience in ADHD. \u00a0Without proper diagnosis and\u00a0intervention, the child can be branded or self-identify with labels such as \u201clazy\u201d, \u201cirresponsible\u201d, or worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Before making an appointment, do your research! Is the doctor or clinician specialized in diagnosing ADHD and other related conditions? \u00a0Do they work regularly with schools to ensure your child\u2019s success?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Diagnosis can take several hours of test taking, talking, and analysis so it\u2019s unlikely that your general practitioner is equipped with the right tools and resources. \u00a0You will probably be referred to a specialist but you shouldn\u2019t feel obligated to go to any particular referral. \u00a0You need to find a professional trained in diagnosing ADHD because they will also screen for other related issues that may be involved. \u00a0Even if the school has done their own diagnosis, having an outside diagnosis will help during the IEP or 504 plan process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/psyc360.com\/about-psychology-360\/\">Dr. Dohrenwend<\/a> at Psy360 specializes in ADHD <a href=\"https:\/\/psyc360.com\/psychological-assessments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diagnosis<\/a>. Her comprehensive approach considers each individual\u2019s primary concerns, unique\u00a0circumstances, and relevant medical, academic and social\/emotional history. You may wish to contact your local chapter of Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chadd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CHADD<\/a>) for additional information.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_ADHD_Is_Diagnosed\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">How ADHD Is Diagnosed<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In order to be diagnosed with ADHD, a patient must demonstrate at least six of the symptoms of inattention,\u00a0hyperactivity, and impulsivity. In addition, these symptoms must have persisted for at least 6 months with a negative impact on the child\u2019s social and academic activities. Doctors must conduct thorough clinical interviews or issue detailed surveys for parents and teachers to complete. Additional screening tests are needed to identify or rule out other conditions such as anxiety, autism, and mood disorders. A standardized ADHD rating scale is used for analysis and diagnosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The comprehensive approach for ADHD <a href=\"https:\/\/psyc360.com\/psychological-assessments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diagnosis<\/a> used by\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Dohrenwend includes computer-based measures, paper and pencil tests, parent surveys and teacher surveys, and in-office interviews. \u00a0Her standardized\u00a0computer-based\u00a0measures look at reaction time, sustained attention and vigilance in both auditory and visual conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_your_Childs_ADHD_Diagnosis_and_Understanding_ADHD_treatments\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">Understanding your Child&#8217;s ADHD Diagnosis and Understanding ADHD treatments<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more you know, the more you can help. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">While you\u2019re waiting through the diagnostic process, take the opportunity to understand even more. Your doctor may even have some initial feedback to help guide your thoughts or questions. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chadd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CHADD<\/a> is a great online resource for information and support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22100 size-medium alignright\" style=\"margin: 7px 10px 7px 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/psyc360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/daydreaming-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"ADHD DIagnosis can help you change the way ADHD impacts the life of someone living with it.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Try learning about what your child is experiencing. You already have experience with how ADHD is affecting family members, teachers, and friends but how much do you understand about how ADHD can affect the daily life of someone living with it? \u00a0Invite your child to help you understand what it\u2019s like in their world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Learn more about how you can help your child navigate life with ADHD. \u00a0Important talking points include: how ADHD may affect them in social situations and how to self-advocate in school and elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Start to research the process for implementing a 504 plan or IEP. \u00a0Reach out to the student counselor for guidance on the process at your school. When the time comes, the counselor, teachers, and the doctor\u00a0will work together with you and your child to put in place the appropriate accommodations, but it\u2019s always helpful to familiarize yourself with the actual process so you can be prepared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Find out about recommended treatments and therapies. There are many approved therapies and medications available and just as many personal opinions about which ones are effective. It\u2019s informative to learn about how people decide what treatment path to try and what they eventually choose. Keep in mind that ADHD is not a one size fits all condition so treatments are nearly always custom fit and regularly tweaked\u2019 for best results.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=&#8221;normal&#8221; color=&#8221;#d1d1d1&#8243; border_style=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]3- Become empowered to make the best choices for your child :\u00a0Give yourself a break and then Plan for success.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">First, give yourself and your child a break. After years of frustrating, even painful situations, you no longer need to feel hopeless about being able to change. Let them know that ADHD doesn\u2019t define who they are and many successful people have ADHD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Next, plan for success.\u00a0 It is important to keep in mind that a diagnosis is not a sentence of hardship, it is actually the first step in the path of bringing relief. A parent can end their speculating and start planning for success.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next_what_are_some_steps_to_plan_for_success\"><\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\"><br \/>\nNext, what are some steps to plan for success?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Talk to your child\u2019s doctor about treatment options. These may include ADHD medications, behavior therapy or social skills groups. Remember there is no \u2018one size fits all\u2019 treatment plan and you will probably have several options available to you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Make sure your doctor is accessible since you\u2019ll need to talk often as you work to find the right medication dosage or\u00a0other therapeutic approaches.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Invite your child to be a part of the discussion of expectations and pros and cons of any treatments. \u00a0They need to know what they can expect to experience in different treatments and that you and the doctor want to know how they\u2019re feeling every step of the way. Additionally, they will learn to explain their situation in terms others can understand.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Talk to your doctor about accommodations at school and home and strategies for social settings. \u00a0Your child needs a strong advocate to get the most appropriate support and services put in place. \u00a0You should feel comfortable proceeding as a team; parent, doctor, child, and teacher\/counselor. Communicate regularly with your child\u2019s teachers and specialists about whether supports and services are working.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Teach your child to self-advocate. This is usually part of any treatment plan you need to help\u00a0reinforce\u00a0it whenever you see an opportunity. \u00a0Your doctor can help with some of the ways your child can ask for help when they really need it. Self-advocacy is a skill that offers benefits for a lifetime.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You\u2019re not alone in parenting a child with ADHD.
