While alleviating childhood ADHD symptoms is a top priority of treatment, the overall goal is to help your child function more efficiently, improve her quality of life, and help her cope with the demands of everyday life. Today, experts use many different therapies to treat childhood ADHD, including medication, psychotherapy, neurofeedback, non-drug alternatives, dietary intervention, exercise, relaxation techniques, and strategies to reinforce social skills. Because childhood ADHD is not one disorder but a cluster of syndromes, treatment plans are generally most effective when custom-tailored to meet the needs of individual children.
