ADHD at different ages
In young children ADHD often looks like constant movement and impulsivity. In teens it may show up as missed assignments and conflict at home. In adults it often appears as disorganization, procrastination, restlessness and difficulty keeping up at work. We evaluate all ages from 4 to 65.

ADHD support for Pelham students and adults
Families from Pelham Elementary, Pelham Memorial School and Pelham High School often ask us about attention, homework and accommodations. We also evaluate Pelham residents who commute across the state line who find that focus and organization are getting harder as responsibilities grow.
Pelham parents sometimes notice attention problems during the move from Pelham Memorial School to the high school, when assignments become longer and less structured. That is a good time to seek an evaluation.
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.
Getting to us from Pelham
From Pelham, our Salem office is usually a 15-minute drive east along Route 38 or Route 111A. Telehealth is also available for Pelham residents who are in New Hampshire during the visit.
Frequently asked questions
How long does the evaluation take?
Usually one extended visit plus time to review rating scales.
Do you prescribe stimulants by telehealth?
Controlled-medication rules apply. Your psychiatrist will explain when an in-person visit is needed.
Do you write accommodation letters?
When the evaluation supports it, yes.
Can I do a video visit while at work in Massachusetts?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you need to be in New Hampshire during a video visit. Schedule it for when you are home in Pelham, or come to the Salem office.
