Support for challenges with attention and impulsivity
Difficulty with Focus
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, can affect much more than attention. Difficulties with focus, organization, impulsivity, emotional regulation, procrastination, or follow-through can make everyday life more challenging at school, work, home, and in relationships.
At the Ross Center, we help children, teens, and adults understand what's contributing to their difficulties and find effective ways to manage ADHD. Our multidisciplinary team provides ADHD evaluations, therapy, and medication management, with treatment tailored to each person's needs.
There are Multiple Types of ADHD
ADHD can look different from person to person and may change as children grow into teens and adults. Some people primarily experience difficulty with attention and organization, while others struggle more with impulsivity, hyperactivity, or emotional regulation.
Some children with ADHD are primarily inattentive, but able to sit still, which can often delay diagnosis. Others are more hyperactive and impulsive, which brings them to clinical attention earlier because of disruption in the classroom or at home. ADHD often looks different in boys than girls. Many children experience a combination of symptoms, and we’ll work with your child to identify the optimal treatment plan for long-term success.
For adults, ADHD symptoms may become more noticeable as the demands of work, relationships, and daily responsibilities increase. ADHD can also occur alongside anxiety, depression, learning differences, or other concerns, making a thorough evaluation and individualized treatment especially important.
