Understanding ADHD
There's more to ADHD than attention and hyperactivity
Emotional regulation can be a significant challenge
Children with ADHD may experience intense emotions, frustration, or difficulty recovering from overwhelming situations. Understanding their nervous system and supporting regulation can make a meaningful difference.
ADHD looks different in every child
Some children are highly active and impulsive, while others experience challenges with attention, organization, or getting started on tasks. Every child's strengths, needs, and experiences are unique.
ADHD is common
Approximately 1 in 9 children ages 3 to 17 in the United States have a current ADHD diagnosis, according to 2024 national survey data.
Connection and understanding matter
Children benefit from supportive relationships, predictable environments, individualized strategies, and adults who seek to understand the needs behind their behaviors.
Children with ADHD can learn, grow, and thrive
With appropriate support, children can develop emotional awareness, executive functioning skills, independence, and strategies that help them navigate their world with confidence.
