Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects a child’s ability to focus, control impulses, and regulate energy levels. Children with ADHD may struggle with paying attention, staying organized, and managing their behavior in different settings, such as at school or home. This condition is often misunderstood as simple hyperactivity, but it involves complex challenges in executive functioning, impulse control, and attention regulation.
At Aster DYU Child Development Centre, we specialize in assessing and supporting children with ADHD through structured interventions, behavioral therapies, and personalized learning strategies. Our goal is to empower children with ADHD by equipping them with coping mechanisms, self-regulation skills, and individualized strategies that help them thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
