Psychologist Dr. Larry Larsen counsels parents to take a multiple approach if their child’s school suggests that they have the child evaluated for ADHD. Important strategies include speaking with the child’s teacher as well as having the child see their pediatrician. If ADHD is diagnosed, it is important to recognize that each case of this condition is different.
ADHD students excel in peaceful environments, including school and home.
Larsen urges parents to become experts on ADHD. Promoting calm environments at their child’s school and at their own home is a valuable strategy. Medication is only one possible treatment and is probably overused. Communication with their child’s teacher is especially encouraged to get information on their child’s behavior and also to talk about the possibility of quiet times in the classroom.
