Every child with ADHD deserves an individualized plan of care. Whether that plan looks like a 504 at school, a prescription from a doctor, counseling, or even a nerve stimulation medical device–there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
At an increasing rate over the last decade, pediatricians are referring their ADHD patients to occupational, physical, and speech therapy. Studies show that all three therapies help provide ADHD children with valuable tools to manage and even overcome their barriers to success.
