ADHD BASICS

A School for Students with ADHD

The Joshua Institute understands the struggle of parents with children diagnosed with ADHD. We also understand the struggle of getting an ADHD diagnosis in the first place.

Your child is intelligent, bright, and able to learn! Our highly trained teachers and coaches specialize in educational practices and techniques that can help   your child with ADHD reach their potential and succeed with pride.

It may be difficult to know where to get the best education for your child. Is it public shcool, private school, charter shcool? With the Joshua Institute, you know your child is receiving the one-on-one detailed attention they deserve with the learning style that is most suited for them.

In a reccent survey of 940 caregivers from ADDitude, 62% of ADHD students had changed schools, and 100% of caregivers had considered it. Changing a child’s school in search of a “good fit” can be disruptive. But with our our specialized curriculum and qualified staff, you can call Joshua Institute your education home.

What is ADHD?

ADHD Basics and Testing

Attention disorders, such as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other learning disabilities often occur at the same time. However, these disorders are not the same.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that becomes apparent in some children in the preschool and early school years. It is hard for these children to control their behavior and/or pay attention. It is estimated that between 3 and 5% of children have ADHD, or approximately 2 million children in the United States. This means that in a classroom of 25 to 30 children, it is likely that at least one will have ADHD.
