WHAT IS THE ADHD CLINIC?
The Texas A&M ADHD Clinic offers comprehensive, integrated, state-of-the-science assessment and intervention services for children, adolescents, and families dealing with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The ADHD clinic's individualized, integrated approach to treatment recognizes that ADHD may affect a child's social, academic, and behavioral success and poses challenges for the entire family. After a comprehensive assessment, the ADHD Clinic offers scientifically-validated interventions that build on child and family strengths to address areas of concern, including child self-management, parent-child interactions, and home-school collaboration.

T
HE ASSESSMENT COMPONENT
There is no single “test” for ADHD. We provide a comprehensive evaluation to firmly establish a diagnosis, rule out other causes, and identify coexisting conditions which may be a focus of treatment. Every assessment is individualized to the needs of the client and their family. Some clients may require a complete evaluation with testing, but others may only need an abbreviated evaluation.
THE TREATMENT COMPONENT
Recognizing that ADHD usually requires a combination of psychological, medical, and educational treatments, we develop an individualized treatment plan involving one or more of the following scientifically-based modules with either the child or the parents:
- Child-focused Modules
- Developing strategies to optimize classroom learning
- Coping with anger
- Getting along with peers
- Diminishing anxiety and sadness
- Parent-focused Modules
- Empowering parents to manage difficult behavior and to enhance family relationships
- Teaching parents home-based and school-based strategies to support academic success
