ADHD Screening in Clarksburg & Montgomery Village, MD

ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood. The hallmark
symptoms include impulsivity, inattentiveness, and hyperactivity. These symptoms can vary widely; one child may be disruptive in class, while
another may simply be forgetful or have trouble paying attention. 

Distinguishing ADHD from normal childhood behaviors, such as occasional fidgetiness or daydreaming, can be challenging. However, if
these behaviors persist across all settings, school, play, and home, and impact your child’s relationships, it is worth investigating. 

Do you think your child might have ADHD? Many symptoms associated with ADHD are normal childhood behaviors (e.g. fidgetiness, daydreaming or being a bit rambunctious), so if these behaviors only happen occasionally then it’s typically not ADHD; however, if these behaviors occur in all settings, such as school, play and home, and it’s impacting your child’s life and relationships then this is definitely something worth investigating.
