It’s time to head back to school. This summer may have been a summer of discovery for you and your child. Maybe you had testing done, after suspecting that your child has ADHD. With the school year fast approaching you might be wondering, “What do I do after the diagnosis?” and “How do I advocate after I find out my child has this diagnosis?” I, Dr. Tish Taylor, am here to help.
After having ADHD testing in Overland Park, you may find out your child has this diagnosis. ADHD is one of the most widely diagnosed disorders, and we know that the disorder is genetic.
