There is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Your doctor may consider many different factors when suggesting a treatment plan, including the type of ADHD diagnosed, the severity of symptoms, the age of the patient, family and relationship dynamics, occupation, schooling, and more.
Treating ADHD often involves a combination approach in which medication (such as ADDERALL XR), behavior modification and educational support are all considered an important part of ADHD treatment success.9

structure your work day, using to-do lists to schedule your responsibilities at home and asking for private work space where you are less likely to be distracted.
Educational support
Educational support for a child or teen with ADHD may include learning new study skills, taking a time management class or developing better listening/conversation skills.
