ADHD support in Peterborough
Parents of students at ConVal Regional High School and South Meadow School often ask us about homework, focus and accommodations. Among adults, small business owners, artists and healthcare workers sometimes find that organization gets harder as responsibilities grow.

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.
Care for the Peterborough community
Peterborough has a lively downtown and a strong arts community in the heart of the Monadnock Region. Because the drive to Salem is over an hour, Peterborough patients usually see us by video, with in-person visits arranged when needed.
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
Getting care from Peterborough
Our office is in Salem, about an hour and 15 minutes from Peterborough, so most Peterborough patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.
