Here are a few things you need to know about this therapy and how it can help.

Parent Training for Behavior Management 

 The first step (typically when children are 4-6 years old) in this process is to train you to handle your child’s behavior. This therapy focuses on giving you the support you need to help your little one behave more appropriately. You’ll learn coping mechanisms, redirection techniques, and other steps to make this process easier for you and them. Starting very early in this way ensures that your child understands what they can do to focus effectively. 

Behavioral Classroom Interventions 

 If your child is about to go to school or is already attending, we can provide behavioral classroom interventions that help redirect their actions outside the home and in the class.  Beyond this approach, a therapist can provide ADHD treatment in Canton, MI, with a more medical approach. We try to implement these as they reach school age to ensure they work smoothly. They’re a valuable way of calming your child’s activities. 

Medications 

 These days, the FDA has approved many medications for managing ADHD in young children. These include stimulants that help increase activity in a child’s brain. That might seem counterintuitive, but ADHD is caused when areas of the brain don’t work as actively as they should and leave a child with little control. Thankfully, stimulants like methylphenidate and amphetamine can help a child manage their ADHD symptoms and focus.

Continued Monitoring 

 After creating therapies for your child, we can monitor their progress and tweak their treatments as needed. ADHD is complex, and different approaches are sometimes required to work. For example, if your child doesn’t respond well to one medicine, we’ll adjust it to get them back in business. With the help of our teams of experts, it should be reasonably easy for you to find a therapy your child responds to well.
