Understanding and assisting individuals managing ADHD challenges

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting both children and adults, characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can significantly impact academic and occupational performance, as well as relationships. It’s important to recognize that individuals with ADHD may possess unique strengths and perspectives alongside their challenges.

Symptoms include:

  • Difficulty sustaining attention
  • Hyperactivity and restlessness
  • Impulsivity
  • Forgetfulness
  • Difficulty organizing tasks
  • Trouble following instructions

Comprehensive treatment for ADHD in Vancouver, Washington involves behavioral interventions, psychoeducation, and, in some cases, medication.
