Why Choose a Rehabilitation Psychologist for ADHD?
Difference Between Psychiatrist, Psychologist & Rehab Psychologist
- Psychiatrist – Medical doctor who prescribes ADHD medication.
- Psychologist – Conducts assessments and talk therapy.
- Rehabilitation Psychologist – Combines assessment, therapy, and real-life skill building to improve executive function, social skills, and academic performance. In short: While medication may calm the brain, rehabilitation psychology teaches the skills needed for success at home, school, and play.
Role in Multidisciplinary ADHD Care
Our rehabilitation psychologists work hand-in-hand with:
- Pediatric psychiatrists for medication oversight
- Special educators for IEP goals
- Speech & occupational therapists for sensory or language needs This team approach ensures no aspect of your child’s development is left behind.
