Being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be a difficult time for children and their families. Having ADD/ADHD can contribute to problems at school, interacting with others, and low self-esteem. At Polaris, we work with you and your child to help them through the process of adjusting to their diagnosis.
Some symptoms of ADD in children can be:
- Poor performance in school
- Avoiding homework and studying
- Poor organizational skills
- Social difficulties
- Not following directions
- Low attention span
- Can not sit still
- Impulsivity
