To date, the process of treating ADHD has been fragmented, with no central comprehensive center to oversee various phases of care. Now there is. Not only do we interface with each patients' primary care physician on a regular basis, we assist in educational planning at the patient's school and regularly interact with school personnel. In this way, we maintain a constant feedback loop to ensure the treatment plan is being carried out properly and thoroughly.
We believe that educating our patients, families and community is also imperative to treat Attention Disorders. The following is a list of educational resources suggested:
- American Academy of Pediatrics, www.aap.org
- American Psychological Association, www.apa.org
- National Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA)
