ADHD
We support ADHD in a multitude of ways, depending upon the age and needs of the child or adolescent.
Embrace strengths and unlock potential
Our teachers help children and adolescents improve foundational executive function skills that are essential for academic success. We support emotional challenges common to ADHD through occupational therapy. Our speech-language pathologists work with children and adolescents who experience social challenges by offering social communication support. Psychologists at Red Oak work with parents to understand their child’s learning and social-emotional profile and teach them parenting strategies. When families suspect their child may have ADHD but do not have an official diagnosis, we recommend a psycho-educational assessment.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulty with attention and emotion regulation, as well as deficits in executive function skills.
Children and adolescents with ADHD often struggle across multiple domains of life. They may have difficulty sustaining focus, managing time and belongings, and completing tasks efficiently- especially as the demands of school and life increase over time. Children and adolescents with ADHD often display large and intense emotional responses. They may struggle with social and emotional issues like excessive moodiness, frequent meltdowns, combativeness, sensitivity to rejection, and conflict with peers.
