The good news is that ADHD is very treatable. Current ADHD treatment practices focus on management of symptoms through a combination of treatment methods:

• Medications
• Behavior modification
• Combination therapy

ADHD treatment is best approached as a partnership between the child, family, school personnel, and healthcare professionals. Making sure everyone involved understands his or her contribution to a child's successful treatment plan is fundamental to symptom management. Since every child's treatment should be customized to his or her needs, be sure to help your healthcare professional understand your child's particular challenges.
