ADHD

 Our Approach to ADHD at Heal Pediatrics

We take a comprehensive, individualized approach that focuses on the whole child—not just symptoms.

1. Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with a detailed medical, developmental, family, and environmental history. Behavior is assessed across multiple settings, including home and school.

2. Standardized Screening Tools

To support diagnosis and treatment planning, we use validated tools such as the Vanderbilt Assessment Scales and Conners Questionnaires, completed by parents and teachers when appropriate. These tools help us evaluate symptom patterns, severity, and functional impact.

3. Exploring Contributing Factors

For families seeking an integrative approach, we may explore factors that can influence attention and behavior, including:

• Nutrient imbalances
• Sleep and lifestyle factors
• Gut health and digestion
• Food sensitivities
• Environmental exposures
• 
  

4. Integrative & Functional Care Options

Care plans may include:

• Nutrition and dietary guidance to support brain health
• Targeted supplements when appropriate
• Sleep and lifestyle support
• Behavioral and mind-body strategies
• School and environmental recommendations

5. Medication When Appropriate

Medication may be considered when clinically indicated and is used thoughtfully as part of a comprehensive care plan, with close monitoring and ongoing support.
