The parent resource
How it should be done — with the evidence attached.
Most of what parents find online about ADHD is written to sell something: a subscription, a supplement, a fear. These essays are written by a physician to be taken to your own doctor. Every factual claim traces to the evidence ledger.
How ADHD is actually diagnosed — and how it's supposed to be
The gold-standard evaluation, the fifteen-minute reality, and the biases (gender, birthday, squeaky wheel) that produce both missed kids and mislabeled ones.
Assessment · 02Objective ADHD testing, explained without the sales pitch
QbTest, QbCheck, EEG, computerized attention tasks: what's FDA-cleared, what the trials actually showed, and what no test can see.
Assessment · 03Beyond the snapshot: why observation beats a single test day
ADHD is defined by behavior across settings and time — yet every tool we have measures twenty minutes. Where assessment is heading next.
Treatment · 04ADHD medication best practices: what optimized treatment looks like
Titration done properly, the side effects that should be managed rather than endured, and what the MTA study taught us about method.
Toolkit · 05Questions to ask your doctor
A printable set of questions for the evaluation visit, the prescription visit, and every follow-up after — so you can tell method from routine.
