ADD Assessment and Treatment Center

Recent studies reveal that 35% of patients diagnosed with ADD do not actually have the disorder, while half of those with ADD have not yet been diagnosed.  That's why the therapists at the ADD Assessment and Treatment Center are so careful in our diagnosis and treatment.  If you or your child has ADD, we can provide effective help.  And if ADD is not the problem, we'll find out what is, providing you with the treatment you need.

Frequently asked Questions & Answers:

What are ADHD, ADD, and ODD?

    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) are neurobiological and behavioral disorders common in children and adults.  Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) frequently accompanies these challenges, often creating debilitating symptoms.  

What are the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

    Noticeable signs of ADHD are poor concentration and memory, disorganized work habits, and poor grades for children in school.  Other signs include disruptive behavior, angry outbursts, and poor impulse control.  

What are the symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder?

    Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a disorder affecting the ability to follow through on instructions, concentrate, pay attention, and may result in poor grades or work performance.  

What are the symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder?

    Signs include a pattern of negative, defiant behavior, such as arguing with adults, blaming others for mistakes, and the refusal to comply with rules.  

Treating Symptoms and Causes of Behavioral Problems

   Many treatments of ADHD, ADD, and ODD focus only on alleviating symptoms - with short lived results. To obtain lasting improvements, our therapists at the ADD Assessment and Treatment Center recommend treatment only after they've identified all the issues.  We conduct careful screenings, administer psychological and neurological tests when necessary, and recommend a medical assessment when indicated.  For children, we review school records and have parents fill out a questionnaire about their child's development and family history.  And when an adult has symptoms of ADD, one of our qualified therapists confers at length with him or her.  All this allows issues to be identified which might otherwise be ignored - issues that if left untreated, would continue to hamper learning and behavior.
