When an ADHD Evaluation is Needed

It’s normal for a young child to be unable to sit still or pay attention at all times, but when is that a sign of a more complicated issue? As a parent, you want to make sure that you’re doing everything possible to make sure your child succeeds and has all the tools that they need to fully function. Dr. Elizabeth Yakubu and Dr. Alrick Drummond at Children’s Health Center in Tampa and Riverview, FL, can explain when ADHD evaluations are needed and how you can identify symptoms that may show that your child is dealing with ADHD.

When an ADHD Evaluation is Needed

All children can tend to get hyperactive or excited, but when is their hyperactivity a sign that your child is dealing with something more serious? If you notice that your child just can’t seem to ever focus on something, they’re constantly hyperactive, and they’re impulsive, you may want to talk to your pediatrician in Tampa and Riverview, FL, about ADHD evaluations.

If these symptoms also seem to affect your child’s ability to function on a normal basis, they may need treatment to learn how to manage their symptoms. Your pediatrician will examine your child by talking with them and just playing and observing. Through this evaluation, they’ll be able to determine if your child is indeed dealing with ADHD. Once this is diagnosed, they can start treatment and start learning methods to deal with their ADHD and start being able to focus on school so that they can succeed.
