It seems these days everyone knows the typical symptoms of ADHD. Decreased focus & impulsive behavior, but ADHD can present in a variety of different ways, depending on the child.

Some children literally cannot sit still in class. They run on a motor that never turns off! They get in trouble at school every day and you receive multiple e-mails from their teacher every week. The teacher can’t keep their attention for more than 3 minutes and they’re talking or touching whomever is close enough to them, using consequences usually doesn’t help. Academically, they’re usually behind in at least one class, sometimes multiple classes.

Every night there’s a battle over homework and even if the homework gets done, your child loses it or forgets to turn it in. Sound familiar?
