Sierra Vista observes Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Week October 16-22, 2011
Four to 7 million children (5-9% of the population) in the U.S. have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Abundant scientific research has led every mainstream medical, psychological, and educational organization in the United States to conclude long ago that ADHD is a real neurological disorder. The American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, National Institute of Mental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Psychiatric Association, American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, and the U.S. Department of Education, among others, recognize ADHD as a legitimate diagnosis.
Sierra Vista Child & Family Services has an (ADHD) Program that provides mental health, case management, and medication services to children ages 2-18 years. The program provides treatment focusing on symptom reduction, improved overall functioning of the child in the home, school, and community environments, and improved functioning of the family system to assist the child in sustaining gains made in treatment.
The program provides a multi-modal treatment approach including individual counseling, group counseling, family counseling, school collaboration and support, medication services, parent education, and case management.
