Everyday care
ADHD: organizing care between home, school and doctors
ADHD care involves many people: pediatrician or psychiatrist, therapist, teachers, sometimes a tutor or coach. Parents end up as the link between all of them. A well-kept log saves time at every appointment.
Updated · 3 min read
What's worth writing down
- Dated observations: sleep, homework, outbursts, wins, teacher comments.
- Appointments and what was said or decided.
- Changes in your child's life: new school year, new class, new activity, a move.
- Questions for the next appointment.
At school
A 504 plan can provide accommodations like preferential seating, movement breaks, chunked assignments and extended time. If your child needs more, an IEP under the “other health impairment” category is possible.
Short, regular check-ins with the teacher keep small problems from piling up.
Medical care
Diagnosis and treatment decisions belong to your child's doctor. Your role is invaluable: precise, dated observations help them assess progress and adjust care. Lumina gives no medical advice; it helps you keep a reliable record.
