ADHD Treatment at Cadabam’s Child Development Center
Finding the right ADHD treatment for your child or yourself can feel overwhelming. At Cadabam’s CDC, we turn confusion into clarity. Our family-centered programs combine the latest science with compassionate care, helping children and adults build focus, confidence, and lifelong skills.
Why Choose Our ADHD Treatment Programs
Multidisciplinary Team Approach
Our clinicians—psychiatrists, psychologists, special educators, occupational therapists, and counselors—meet every week to review each case. One shared file means no mixed messages and faster progress.
Evidence-Based Interventions
We use only methods backed by global research: FDA-approved medications, CBT, social-skills groups, and parent management training. Outcomes are tracked with rating scales so you can see improvement in real numbers.
Child & Adult Specialized Tracks
- Pediatric Pathway: Play-based assessments, school collaboration, fun social-skills camps
- Adult Pathway: Workplace coaching, time-management apps, discreet medication reviews
Comprehensive ADHD Assessment
A Comprehensive ADHD Assessment
Clinical Interviews
Parents, teachers, and (when possible) the child share histories in separate 60-minute sessions. We look beyond symptoms to family routines, sleep, diet, and emotional triggers.
Standardized Rating Scales
We use Conners-3, Vanderbilt, and ASRS to measure attention, hyperactivity, and executive skills against age norms. Results are explained in parent-friendly graphs.
Cognitive & Academic Testing
A two-hour session maps IQ, working memory, reading, and math skills. If a learning disorder hides behind ADHD, we catch it early and adjust the ADHD treatment plan.
Medication Management
Stimulant vs Non-Stimulant Options
- Stimulants: Methylphenidate and amphetamines act quickly—often within 30–45 minutes.
- Non-Stimulants: Atomoxetine and guanfacine are ideal when tics, anxiety, or sleep issues are present.
Monitoring & Dosage Adjustments
After the first prescription, we schedule follow-ups at 1 week, 1 month, and every 3 months. Height, weight, blood pressure, and mood charts guide each tweak.
Side-Effect Management
Common issues like appetite loss or “rebound” irritability are tackled with timing tricks, healthy snacks, and, when needed, weekend breaks.
Behavior Therapy & Skills Training
Parent Training Programs
Our 8-week course teaches positive reinforcement, homework structuring, and calm-consequence scripts. Parents leave with video examples and WhatsApp support between sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Older children and adults learn to challenge “I’m bad at everything” thoughts, break tasks into micro-steps, and reward themselves for small wins.
Social Skills Groups
Led by our child psychologists, small groups practice turn-taking, reading facial cues, and handling teasing through role-play and board games.
School & Workplace Support
IEP/504 Plan Guidance
We draft goals (e.g., “Will finish 80% of math problems in class”) and attend school meetings to secure extra time, quiet rooms, or movement breaks.
Teacher Collaboration
Quarterly teacher calls (or video chats) keep strategies aligned. We share quick tip sheets on seating plans, fidget tools, and feedback language.
Workplace Accommodations for Adults
From flexi-hours to noise-cancelling headphones, we help adults talk to HR using the rights under India’s RPWD Act.
Lifestyle & Home Strategies
Daily Routine Planning
Color-coded schedules, visual timers, and “when-then” charts turn chaos into predictability.
Mindfulness & Relaxation Techniques
Three-minute breathing spaces after school or meetings reduce impulsivity and improve sustained attention.
Nutrition & Exercise Tips
- Protein-rich breakfasts stabilize blood sugar.
- 20 minutes of skipping or cycling boosts dopamine naturally.
- Omega-3 supplements are suggested after lab reviews.
Success Stories
Case Study: 8-Year-Old Improved Focus
Arjun, an 8-year-old, entered Grade 3 reading two years below level. After 6 months of combined ADHD treatment—low-dose methylphenidate, parent training, and twice-weekly phonics—his reading age caught up, and teacher reports showed a 60% drop in calling-out behavior.
Case Study: Adult Professional Thriving at Work
Sweta, a 28-year-old, an IT analyst, struggled with missed deadlines. Our adult track added atomoxetine, CBT for procrastination, and workplace coaching. In four months, she earned a promotion and reports 3× faster task completion.
