We applaud all that you do as a mom to support your child. Thanks to your efforts, your child has received something many children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) wait a long time for: a proper diagnosis so that treatment can begin.

We encourage you to follow your child's treatment plan, as prescribed, and to have a good partnership with everyone important in your child's life: doctors, therapists, teachers and family members. Take advantage of all the support and education that's available to you.

Check out tips to help others understand your decision to seek medical treatment for your child with ADHD.
