ADHD support for Derry students and adults
Families with students at Pinkerton Academy, Hood Middle School, West Running Brook Middle School and Derry's elementary schools often ask us about attention, homework and accommodations. We also evaluate Derry residents working in Manchester, Salem or toward Boston who find that focus and organization are getting harder as responsibilities grow.
Derry families often reach out when a student moves up to Pinkerton Academy and the volume of homework and independence increases. We look at attention alongside anxiety and sleep, which often play a part.

Treatment options
Treatment may include organization strategies, coaching, parent training, school or workplace accommodations and, when appropriate, stimulant or non-stimulant medication. Controlled-medication prescribing follows federal and New Hampshire rules and requires regular follow-up.
How we evaluate ADHD
- Rating scales from the patient, parents, teachers or a partner
- A history of attention and behavior from early childhood onward
- Screening for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and learning issues that can look like ADHD
- Review of report cards or past testing when available
