ADHD is a common condition, affecting 6.4 million school-aged children in the United States. Children with ADHD often struggle with focusing, following directions, and maintaining attention, while simultaneously exhibiting hyperactive and impulsive behavior. These challenges can interfere with their ability to learn, potentially leading to poor academic performance.
Many children with ADHD may experience difficulties for years before their parents and teachers realize that these challenges are hindering their success. If your child has recently been diagnosed with ADHD, you may be wondering how you can support them in reaching their full potential. Fortunately, once your child's learning difficulties are identified, there are numerous effective tools and therapies that can help children and teens with ADHD thrive academically and personally. |
An educational therapist is a professional who helps students develop the skills needed to improve their academic performance. These therapists are trained to identify and understand learning challenges, as well as the coping mechanisms children often use to conceal their difficulties. These coping patterns can include avoidance, tantrums, acting out, oppositional behavior, skipping class, or hiding homework. Educational therapists employ various effective interventions and strategies to address the skills the student may be missing, while also building on their strengths. At the Bay Area Center for ADHD, our clinicians create individualized plans to help students develop the foundational skills essential for learning and achieving success in school |
