Our holistic approach to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) evaluation and treatment is based on proven techniques that offer comprehensive and personalized support to patients, families and physicians. We believe deeply in providing the highest quality resources that will promote your child’s developmental well-being. Our two ADHD clinics ensure comprehensive care and support, not only for your child, but also for you and your family, as well as your pediatrician.

Children with ADHD can seem forgetful, impatient or distracted. They may daydream, overreact or behave impulsively. Our specialists at Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children’s can determine whether your child has ADHD – a chronic neurological condition caused by differences in a child’s brain.   

If undiagnosed or untreated, the symptoms of ADHD can interfere with your child’s development, relationships and everyday life – at home, school and play. If your child has ADHD, we’ll recommend helpful tools and therapy options for your child, family and care providers. At Phoenix Children’s, our ADHD clinics treat children ranging from 5 to 18 years of age.

Evaluation and Consultation

ADHD symptoms can have subtle or obvious effects on a child’s ability to learn, function and get along with others. Our developmental pediatricians excel in evaluating each child’s unique challenges to differentiate among the different types of ADHD. Experts identify related conditions as well, such as neurological disorders that contribute to developmental delays.  

Our doctors will collaborate with you and your child’s care providers to discuss treatment and evaluate progress. We educate other practitioners about ways to improve ADHD diagnosis and care management. This includes learning how to apply standardized tools and therapies, and access community resources.

Research to Improve Care

Researchers at Barrow at Phoenix Children’s stay on the leading edge of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for varied types of care. Our services are based on the latest scientific findings, which translate to better all-around care.
