Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Services
Supporting Focus, Regulation, and Success for Every Child
At Milestone Therapeutic Services, we understand that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) impacts more than just attention—it can affect a child’s ability to succeed in school, build friendships, and feel confident in daily routines. Our experienced pediatric therapists provide individualized support to help children with ADHD improve focus, emotional regulation, behavior, and functional independence. We’re here to partner with families in creating strategies that empower children to thrive in their homes, classrooms, and communities.
What Is ADHD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects a child’s ability to manage attention, impulses, and activity levels. While symptoms typically begin in early childhood, they can continue into adolescence and adulthood if not effectively supported.
Children with ADHD may experience:
- Difficulty focusing or following directions
- Fidgeting, restlessness, or trouble sitting still
- Frequent impulsivity or blurting out answers
- Trouble completing tasks or organizing activities
- Emotional outbursts or poor frustration tolerance
- Delays in executive functioning (planning, memory, time management)
ADHD is not a result of poor parenting or lack of discipline—it’s a brain-based condition that can benefit greatly from structured therapy and individualized strategies.
