Pediatric Rehabilitation for ADHD | Cadabams Child Development Center

Overview of Pediatric Rehabilitation for ADHD

What is ADHD in Children?

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition where children struggle with sustained attention, impulse control, or hyperactivity. Common signs include:

• Difficulty following instructions
• Frequent fidgeting or “on-the-go” behavior
• Trouble organizing tasks or belongings
• Quick frustration in social or academic settings Early identification allows earlier access to pediatric rehabilitation services that reduce long-term challenges.

How Rehabilitation Supports ADHD Treatment

Rehabilitation therapy fills the gaps medication cannot. By combining behavioral strategies, motor-skill training, and executive-function coaching, rehabilitation:

• Builds self-regulation skills
• Improves handwriting, coordination, and daily routines
• Strengthens social communication
• Empowers parents with consistent discipline techniques through parental support
