ADHD resources

These resources provide ADHD education, parent support, clinical guidance, and care navigation. They do not diagnose a child or replace an individualized assessment.

Government and professional information

• CDC ADHD hub — U.S. government information on symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, data, and resources.
• CDC Clinical Care of ADHD in Children — clinical-care summary and links to American Academy of Pediatrics guidance.
• NIMH ADHD information — federal mental-health information about symptoms, evaluation, treatment, and finding help.
• AAP ADHD resources — pediatric clinical and family-care resources; some clinical articles may require professional access.

Parent support and directories

• CHADD parent resources — parent education, support resources, and ADHD navigation; local availability varies.
• CHADD Professional Directory — U.S.-oriented listings; verify credentials, pediatric experience, and current openings.
• ADDA Professional Directory — ADHD professional listings, primarily U.S.-oriented; confirm pediatric scope and licensing.

Questions to ask

• Does the clinician routinely assess children this age across home and school settings?
• How will sleep, learning, language, anxiety, autism, mood, medication effects, appetite, and feeding concerns be considered?
• What is the treatment goal, how will progress be measured, and who coordinates with school and other clinicians?
