HOW TO FIND AN ADHD (ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER) SPECIALIST IN MY AREAQ: How can I find an ADHD specialist in my area?A: The best place to start is with your child’s pediatrician.

Another option is to contact one of the many support groups and referral organizations listed in the back of this book. It’s their job to put the parents of ADHD children in touch with specialists who can help them.If you live near a large medical school with a department of psychiatry, call and ask for a recommendation.
