About ADHD Assessment & Management

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions – and one of the most misunderstood. Children with ADHD are not lazy or misbehaving; they have brains that are wired differently. At Dr. Yasaswi’s Child Development Centre, we provide thorough, evidence-based ADHD assessments and a comprehensive management programme that addresses attention, impulse control, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and academic challenges. Our goal is to help every child with ADHD understand their strengths and thrive.

Who Is This For?

  • Children who are inattentive, hyperactive, or impulsive beyond what is typical for their age
  • School-age children with declining academic performance despite adequate intelligence
  • Children with behavioral challenges at home, school, or in social settings
  • Children who struggle with organization, time management, and completing tasks
  • Adolescents with attention difficulties affecting study and relationships
  • Children with co-occurring learning disabilities, anxiety, or autism

What to Expect

  • Step 1 – Comprehensive ADHD Assessment: We gather detailed history from parents, review school reports, administer standardized rating scales, and conduct cognitive and behavioral assessments.
  • Step 2 – Multi-Informant Approach: Input is gathered from parents, teachers, and where appropriate, the child themselves to build a complete picture of functioning across settings.
  • Step 3 – Diagnosis & Feedback Session: Findings are shared in a detailed feedback session, with clear recommendations for management.
  • Step 4 – Management Plan: A personalized plan is created that may include behavioral therapy, executive function coaching, school accommodations, parent training, and – where appropriate – psychiatric consultation for medication management.
  • Step 5 – Ongoing Review & Support: Regular follow-ups ensure the management plan remains effective as your child grows and their needs evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions

ADHD is sometimes over- or under-identified depending on the quality of assessment. At our centre, we use a rigorous, multi-informant, multi-method assessment process to ensure accurate diagnosis.

Medication is not the first or only answer. Behavioral strategies, therapy, school accommodations, and parent training are foundational. Medication may be considered as one component of a comprehensive plan and is always a shared decision between the family and our specialists.

Yes, significantly. Children with unrecognized or poorly managed ADHD often develop low self-esteem, anxiety, and a negative academic self-concept. Early, appropriate support protects not just academic performance but emotional wellbeing.

Absolutely. ADHD in girls is often under-recognized because it frequently presents as inattentiveness and daydreaming rather than hyperactivity. Girls with ADHD deserve the same thorough assessment and support.
