About 12.0% of U.S. children ages 3–17 years have ever been diagnosed with ADHD. Within that estimate, 15.0% of boys and 8.8% of girls have been diagnosed.
Among children with current ADHD, nearly 78% have at least one co-occurring condition (such as behavior issues, anxiety, or learning difficulties).
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, organization, and emotional regulation. It is not laziness or a behavior problem—it reflects how the brain processes information and manages demands.
ADHD impacts:
Focus and attention
Organization and planning
Time management
Emotional regulation
Self-control
ADHD often begins in childhood and can continue into adolescence and adulthood.

Understanding the type of ADHD helps guide effective support.
Many children and adults are trying hard—but still struggling. An ADHD evaluation helps explain why challenges exist and what supports will help most.
An evaluation can:
Clarify attention and executive functioning needs
Identify co-occurring challenges (anxiety, learning differences)
Guide school, college, or workplace accommodations
Replace frustration with understanding and next steps
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
ADHD can look different at every age. We partner with families and schools to provide clear answers, thoughtful recommendations, and a path forward.
Difficulty with routines and transitions
High activity level or impulsivity
Big emotional reactions
Missing or incomplete work
Disorganization and procrastination
Teacher concerns about focus or behavior
Growing frustration or low confidence
Trouble managing time and deadlines
Difficulty starting or finishing tasks
Feeling overwhelmed in unstructured environments
ADHD changes over time—but support can make a lasting difference.
