With a proper treatment strategy, most children with ADHD are productive in school and lead successful lives.

Developing an IEP for Your Child
School is very challenging for children with ADHD. There are many distractions in the classroom, and it can be difficult for them to focus. An IEP (Individualized Education Program) can help your child with ADHD make the most of their time in the classroom. Here are some tips that target ADHD challenges:
Don’t let your child’s ADHD disrupt his or her learning. Work together with your child’s teachers so that you can all provide the best educational experience possible. You know your child better than anyone, so identify his or her particular challenges so their time in the classroom is a positive experience.
