ADHD and Behavioural Evaluation for Children in Kochi

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect attention, impulse control, activity level, academic performance and daily functioning. Children with ADHD may have difficulty staying focused, completing tasks, following instructions, remaining seated or controlling impulsive behaviour.

ADHD Assessment

A comprehensive assessment may include the child’s developmental history, school performance, attention patterns, behaviour at home and school and input from parents and teachers. Evaluation also helps identify whether other factors such as learning difficulties, anxiety, sleep problems or developmental conditions may be contributing to the child’s symptoms.

Behavioural Challenges

Children may also be referred for concerns involving:

• Frequent tantrums
• Aggressive behaviour
• Emotional dysregulation
• Oppositional behaviour
• Difficulty following routines
• Poor impulse control
• Behaviour interfering with school or family life

Management may include behavioural strategies, parent guidance, school-based recommendations and multidisciplinary support.
