Attention - Young Mind Community Center

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is persistent pattern of inattention and/or over-activity that interferes with development.

ADHD is one of the most commonly identified disorders of early childhood. It can be misdiagnosed in young children (under 6), as most experience some degree of difficulty regulating their attention and behavior from time to time. Behaviors associated with ADHD may look similar to those related to other childhood challenges, making a thorough evaluation important.

A child with ADHD might:

Daydream
Forget or lose things
Squirm or fidget
Talk too much
Make careless mistakes or take unnecessary risks
Have a hard time resisting temptation
Have trouble taking turns
Have difficulty getting along with others

There is no single test to identify ADHD. Determining if a child has ADHD is a multiple-step process. The first step is to rule out possible underlying physical causes for the symptoms.

For evaluations, YMC is currently in-network with BCBS, United, Cigna, Aetna, and ComPsych. At this time, they are not in-network with any state-funded plans, such as AHCCCS or Mercy Care.
