Expert Evaluations and Child-Focused ADHD Therapy at The Counseling Corner

Is your child struggling to focus, stay on task, or manage big emotions? Wondering if it might be ADHD? At The Counseling Corner, we provide comprehensive ADHD testing and treatment for children in Orlando, designed to give parents clarity and help children thrive.

With over 30 years of experience in mental health and child development, our licensed therapists offer compassionate, evidence-based care that helps children manage ADHD with greater confidence, structure, and support.

🔍 What Does ADHD Look Like in Children?

ADHD symptoms in kids often go beyond being “hyper” or “distracted.” Every child presents differently. Some may be restless and impulsive, while others struggle quietly with focus or emotional regulation.

Common child ADHD symptoms include:

  • Difficulty paying attention or following directions

  • Constant fidgeting, squirming, or getting out of their seat

  • Trouble completing homework or switching between tasks

  • Impulsivity—blurting out answers or interrupting frequently

  • Losing items, forgetting assignments, or daydreaming

  • Intense frustration, emotional outbursts, or low frustration tolerance

If your child’s behavior is affecting their success at school, friendships, or family life, ADHD testing and therapy can make a real difference.

🧩 What to Expect from ADHD Testing at The Counseling Corner

Our ADHD evaluations are child-centered, thorough, and developmentally appropriate. We use a combination of:

  • Standardized ADHD behavior checklists

  • Parent, teacher, and caregiver input

  • One-on-one child observations and interactions

  • Emotional and behavioral screening tools

Our goal is to understand the whole child—not just check boxes—so we can provide accurate diagnoses and clear, compassionate feedback to parents.

💡 What Parents Need to Know

1. Getting answers helps—whether it's ADHD or not.
ADHD testing doesn’t label your child—it helps you understand them. Many parents feel empowered after finally getting clarity and a plan.

2. ADHD looks different at every age.
Younger children often show more hyperactivity; older kids may show more inattentiveness or emotional dysregulation. We tailor testing to your child’s developmental stage.

3. Therapy matters as much or more than a diagnosis.
Our ADHD treatment focuses on helping children build the skills they need—emotional regulation, impulse control, organization, and confidence—not just managing symptoms. Having ADHD does not excuse a child from staying focused, completing their work, or behaving themselves—it just means they have to work harder to do these things. With the proper skills, they can significantly improve their success.

4. Parenting a child with ADHD doesn’t come with a manual—but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
We partner with parents through coaching, resources, and support so that everyone in the family system feels more equipped.

FAQs

  • ADHD in children can present differently than typical childhood behaviors. Some early signs include difficulty sitting still, excessive talking, not listening when spoken to, trouble following instructions, and frequently losing items like homework or toys. While all children display these behaviors occasionally, children with ADHD show them more consistently and intensely. If these symptoms interfere with your child’s daily life—especially at school or in relationships—it may be time for a comprehensive ADHD evaluation. At Counseling Corner, we offer child-focused assessments that help differentiate between age-appropriate behavior and clinical ADHD, setting the foundation for effective intervention.

  • Therapy can be transformational for children with ADHD. At Counseling Corner, we offer behavioral therapy that helps children build self-regulation, improve focus, and develop healthier social interactions. We also provide parent training so caregivers can learn evidence-based strategies to reduce power struggles and increase cooperation. Combined with school accommodations (like 504 Plans or IEPs), this wraparound support helps children thrive academically and emotionally. Many families see improvements in classroom behavior, homework completion, and family dynamics within just a few months of consistent therapy.

  • Medication is not always necessary, but it can be a helpful part of a broader treatment plan—especially when symptoms are severe or not improving through therapy alone. Stimulants (like Ritalin or Adderall) and non-stimulants (like guanfacine) are commonly prescribed and well-researched. At Counseling Corner, we collaborate with pediatricians or psychiatrists to ensure any decision about medication is made thoughtfully and in alignment with the child’s needs. Our goal is to create a holistic, child-centered plan that may include therapy, parent support, school coordination, and medication when appropriate.

  • Start with empathy and reassurance. Let your child know that ADHD is simply one way that brains work—different, not broken. Use metaphors (like a race car brain with bicycle brakes) to explain their experience in relatable terms. Emphasize their strengths (creativity, energy, curiosity) while acknowledging that some things may feel harder for them. At Counseling Corner, we often include age-appropriate psychoeducation in sessions so children understand their diagnosis, feel empowered, and avoid internalizing shame. Framing ADHD as something manageable—with the right tools—can boost confidence and reduce frustration.
