In almost all cases, people call our office shortly following a moment of crisis. This could be what led you here. That moment of crisis could be a negative report from a teacher, a notification of an incident involving another child, or witnessing a lack of interest in activities. Perhaps it is realizing your adult child is not reaching their full potential. This can create a wave of emotions about your ability as a parent.

​

As a parent, the first step is to not panic. With proper treatment, children with ADHD do remarkably well. In fact, many kids are able to leverage some of the behaviors that arise from ADHD and turn them into strengths.

​

The second step is to seek help sooner rather than later. Left untreated, children with ADHD tend to adopt the stigma of being “slow” or “lazy,” which can result in low self-esteem and underachievement. This can be hard to overcome.

​

While there are standardized style tests, an ADHD diagnosis may be missed.  There is not a one-size-fits-all diagnosis and treatment plan. Dr. Walker’s individualized approach ensures each patient is diagnosed accurately with a personalized treatment plan.

​

At Louisville ADHD, we focus on treating the whole person. This means we work to understand the full picture of medical and environmental history in addition to their behavioral history.

​

Once we have gathered this information, we develop a plan to help your child achieve what they’re capable of achieving whether they are diagnosed with ADHD or not.

​

Being a parent of a child with ADHD is overwhelming at times, but it’s important to understand there is a growing community of professionals and peer support to help guide you through this challenging process.
