Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects millions of children worldwide, impacting focus, impulse control, and behavior in school and at home. Managing ADHD requires a structured, evidence-based, and individualized approach. At IIAHP, our Attention & Behavior Improvement Program helps children with ADHD improve attention, self-control, and learning skills through a combination of neurodevelopmental therapies, behavioral strategies, and family involvement.
Understanding ADHD
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by:
- Inattention: Difficulty sustaining focus, following instructions, or organizing tasks.
- Hyperactivity: Excessive movement or fidgeting, difficulty sitting still.
- Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, interrupting others, or trouble waiting for turns.
ADHD can affect academic performance, social interactions, and daily functioning. Early assessment and intervention are critical for helping children develop coping strategies and improve their skills.
