Advice for ADHD School Success

How can I help my ADHD child do better in school?

by Carol Brady, Ph.D.

Children with ADD frequently have learning difficulties. Seek an educational assessment. If there is a gap between your daughter’s intellect and her ability, she may benefit from extra tutoring or special-education services. If your daughter takes ADHD medication, the school-day dose may require adjustment. Speak with her doctor about this. —Carol Brady, Ph.D., child psychologist, Houston
