Multimodal Treatment for ADHD: What Is It?
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and the inability to control impulses. It affects an estimated 5.2 million school-age children in the U.S.
Everyone, especially younger children, may have symptoms of ADHD from time to time. But with ADHD, the ability to function with daily activities is affected. A diagnosis of ADHD can be hard to make, and evaluation must be made by a specialist.
There are several different approaches to treating ADHD. But research suggests that for many children, the best way to manage the symptoms is a multimodal approach.
