Our Approach To Treat Childhood ADHD
At Harley Mind Care, we use a comprehensive approach to treat childhood ADHD. We understand that every child is unique, so we personalise our approach to meet each child’s needs. The following are the key pillars of our approach:
Comprehensive Assessment
We conduct a thorough assessment to understand the child's strengths, challenges, and specific needs. Our experts, including psychologists and paediatricians, gather information from multiple sources, including parent and teacher reports, behavioural observations, and standardised assessments. Book a private ADHD assessment for your child so they can start a journey towards better well-being.
Evidence-Based Interventions
Based on assessment findings, we develop customised treatment plans that involve evidence-based interventions proven effective for managing ADHD symptoms. These interventions may include behavioural therapy, parent training, educational support, and, in some cases, medication management. We aim to provide children with the skills and strategies to manage their symptoms and succeed in all areas.
Collaborative Care
We believe collaboration between parents, educators, healthcare professionals, and other support systems involved in the child's life can be highly helpful in managing ADHD symptoms. Our team works closely with families and schools to ensure continuity of care and support and create a collaborative environment that improves the well-being of children with ADHD.
