How soon can we get an appointment?

Most families are seen within one week; urgent cases within 48 hours

What should I bring to the first visit?

School reports, previous medical records, and any completed rating forms.

Do you offer medication management?

Yes. Our developmental pediatricians discuss pros, cons, and monitoring schedules when behavior therapy alone is insufficient.

Can parents attend therapy sessions?

Absolutely. Parent participation is a cornerstone of effective ADHD treatment.

How long does an ADHD evaluation take?

Initial assessment is 90 minutes; full psychometry may extend to 3 hours over one or two sessions.

Do you provide reports for schools?

Yes. We supply detailed recommendations for IEP or 504 plans within three working days.

Do I need a referral to see a Developmental Pediatrician at Cadabam's?

Referral requirements can vary. It's best to contact Cadabam's intake team or check our website for current policies regarding scheduling appointments with Developmental Pediatrics. Often, a referral from a primary care physician is helpful or required.

Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics for ADHD | Cadabam’s Child Development Center

If you are looking for answers about your child’s attention, focus, or impulsive behavior, developmental pediatrics for ADHD can provide the clarity you need. At Cadabams CDC, our board-certified specialists turn questions into clear action plans, guiding parents from the very first concern to long-term success at home and in school.

Why Choose Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics for ADHD?

Specialized Expertise in ADHD Care

Our developmental behavioral pediatricians have advanced training that goes beyond general pediatrics. They understand the neurological basis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and can distinguish ADHD from learning disabilities, anxiety, or sensory issues. This precision means faster, more accurate diagnosis and targeted interventions.

Holistic, Family-Centered Approach

We treat the whole child, not just the checklist of symptoms. Every plan blends evidence-based behavioral therapy, parent coaching, and school collaboration. Families leave with practical tools—morning routines, homework strategies, and communication tips—that work in real life, not just in the clinic.

Who We Care For

Children with Suspected ADHD

Has a teacher flagged inattentiveness? Do you notice constant fidgeting or emotional outbursts? We welcome children with early signs of ADHD, offering age-appropriate evaluations and gentle guidance for parents navigating next steps.

Complex or Co-occurring Conditions

Up to 60% of children with ADHD also experience autism, learning disorders, or anxiety. Our multidisciplinary team—developmental pediatricians, psychologists, and educators—works under one roof to untangle overlapping symptoms and create a single, integrated plan.
