Does my child need to attend appointments?

Yes, your child's attendance at their psychiatric evaluation and medication management is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. While it may be tempting to schedule an appointment without your child present, meeting with the patient is critical for the provider to gather essential information about their symptoms, behaviors, and history. This information helps the provider make informed decisions about diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

It is important to note that the ADHD evaluation process is tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Your child's involvement is essential to ensure the evaluation is individualized to their specific concerns and symptoms. Without their participation, the evaluation and follow-ups may not be accurate, and the recommended treatment plan may not be as effective. 

At KEGE Center for ADHD, we understand that attending appointments can be overwhelming for children and their families. Our providers are trained to create a welcoming environment that puts your child at ease, making the process as stress-free as possible.

If you have any concerns about the process or your child's attendance, please call to discuss them with us. We can provide you with additional information and support to help ensure a positive experience for your child.
