What is ADHD? 

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder that is characterized by patterns of hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. ADHD is typically diagnosed during one’s childhood, but could be diagnosed later into adulthood if symptoms are consistent. If you have a child diagnosed with ADHD, they are typically diagnosed with mild, moderate, or severe ADHD. Symptoms of ADHD will look different for every child. Oftentimes ADHD is mistaken in children for “being too hyper” or “poor listeners”. Although children with ADHD can become restless and struggle to focus, it is important to consider the various symptoms they experience.
