If your child has attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or is suspected of having ADHD, your family can turn to the Center for Management of ADHD at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) for information, resources, diagnosis and treatment.

We take an approach to care that allows us to offer children 4 through 18 years of age a variety of services aimed at promoting health and well-being, including:

  • Medication consultation and management
  • Family behavior therapy
  • Group parent training programs to provide education about ADHD and strategies to promote your child’s success at home and school

Our team also works closely with your primary care pediatrician to ensure ongoing care, including medication management.

How we serve you

Some children with ADHD can manage their condition with behavioral interventions. Other children also need medication to achieve success.

This course will help equip prescribers evaluate medication options, consider titrating versus changing medications, addressing side effects, and counseling patients and families.

What to expect at your ADHD evaluation

The goal of our child's initial evaluation for ADHD is to develop an understanding of your child’s strengths and challenges and to determine their primary treatment needs. The evaluation includes a comprehensive ADHD assessment and screening for other emotional, behavioral and health conditions.

Finding a provider for behavior management with ADHD

We have compiled information to explain a behavioral approach to therapy and help your family select a community provider who can help your child with behavioral therapy.
