ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

WHAT IS ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that causes some children to have difficulty paying attention and/or controlling impulsive behaviors. This is due to differences in the structure and functioning of certain brain areas  that make them more restless and/or easily distracted.

Children with ADHD may have trouble focusing and concentrating on tasks. It can also be very difficult for them to sit still and/or wait their turn. They often forget requests and instructions and seem to only pay attention to things they enjoy. This causes problems for them at school, at home, and with friends.

ADHD is not the child's fault, and they are not doing it on purpose. They tend to be labeled as childish or immature, but ADHD is caused by a combination of genetic, neurological and environmental factors. With proper support, children with ADHD can develop strategies to control their symptoms and reveal their full potential in school and in life.

OUR PROCESS FOR ADHD TREATMENT

NeuroImprove distinguishes itself from other psychological practices through its rigorous approach to challenges and obstacles in all areas and contexts of life. Our process is meticulous and tailored to the individual needs of each client. Here’s how:

1. Initial Neurological Evaluation with qEEG:

  • Through a Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG), we conduct a detailed exploration of the specific brain activity associated with ADHD, providing a clear understanding of the child's neurological state.

2. Detailed Psychological Assessment:

  • Deeply focused on the typical behavioral and cognitive challenges of ADHD, for an profund understanding of the child's mental state.

3. Clinical Report and Therapeutic Goals:

  • Based on the assessment, we develop a clinical formulation of the difficulties, which is then discussed with the client. Together, we define therapeutic objectives aligned with their unique needs.

4. Personalized Treatment:

  • We establish a multidisciplinary treatment plan that combines Neurofeedback and Psychology, applying a series of scientifically validated strategies and techniques, such as psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring and reinforcement plans, to ensure comprehensive and lasting mental recovery.

5. Support Network:

  • To maximize treatment effectiveness, we also involve the family, school and other healthcare professionals who may contribute to the process.
