When it comes to effective treatment for children with ADHD, there are a multitude of options. Different kids need different treatment programs. Consumer Reports recently surveyed more than 900 parents of kids with ADHD, to find out what’s working for their kids.
“’Eighty-four percent of those in the survey had tried medication and, of those, two-thirds said that it helped a lot,’ said Consumer Reports Dr. Orly Avitzur. But medication alone is not a cure all. The survey found that children like Amanda who were treated with both drug and non-drug therapies had better results than those who used drugs alone.” [Source: KABC-TV (Los Angeles)]
Behavioral therapy, consistent schedules, and special school accommodations are some of the non-drug approaches that have helped kids with ADHD improve and mange their symptoms.
