ADHD Intervention Review

THE POINT MANY PARENTS ARE AT TODAY
The question is not, "Does my child have ADHD?"
Is the intervention they are receiving the correct one?
— They already have a diagnosis (or suspect it), but no one explained to them why the intervention they are receiving was chosen and not another.
— They received a diagnosis but were only presented with pharmacological intervention options.
— They have been investing in therapies, medication or "plans" for months, and they don't see any clear progress.
— The specialist who treats them speaks little or no Spanish, and they feel that important nuances are being missed.
— School, pediatrician and therapist give them different recommendations, and they don't know who to listen to.
— They still don't have a diagnosis and don't know where to start, or what kind of professional to look for.
— You keep wondering if all that effort is really bringing your child closer to a more independent and successful life.
The greatest risk for a child with ADHD is not always a late diagnosis.
It is remaining for years in therapies that are not addressing what you really need and that at the same time is leaving a gap in intervention in other aspects.
what it is — and what it is not
An expert and independent review of the intervention, not the diagnosis
This is it!
— An assessment of whether the current intervention (therapies, accommodations, attention training, behavioral management, medication combined with therapy) is appropriate according to scientific evidence.
— Guidance on how to access a diagnosis if you don't already have one, and which specialists to look for.
— Specialized attention to organize your care history and receive in a practical and understandable way the current situation of your child.
This is not
— It is not a formal diagnostic assessment of ADHD.
— It does not replace the current treatment team; it is an external review that complements it.
— A consultation to prescribe or modify medication.
— A therapeutic intervention.

ADHD Specialist ADHD, Learning Disabilities and Behavioral Disorders
When the specialist reviews your child's plan, she doesn't do it from a single discipline—she does it with the perspective of someone who works holistically with child psychiatry, neuropediatrics, neuropsychology, psychotherapists, and occupational therapists, and with the standards of leading ADHD organizations in the U.S. and Canada.
This ensures you receive guidance with a broad, experienced, and multidisciplinary vision that is tailored to your child's educational level.
Why this is important

We will prepare to assist you, reviewing previous assessments, care and progress reports, and integrating the results into the final report you will receive.
