Parents of children with ADHD often seek complementary care.

Children with ADHD respond well to acupuncture or acupressure and parents may also wish to learn more about how Chinese herbal formulas can support focus and mental clarity.

Our clinic has treated many children and adolescents with ADHD and we work with both parents and other providers to determine the best approach to supporting your child. Our work with children with ADHD was supported by a Schweitzer Fellowship, which funded our first clinic under the auspices of the New England School of Acupuncture.

Our approach to treating children and teens with ADHD follows the guidelines and advice of Stephen Cowan, MD, author of Fire Child, Water Child: How Understanding the Five Types of ADHD Can Help You Improve Your Child’s Self-Esteem and Attention. We trained with Dr. Cowan and use his protocols for discerning the type of ADHD your child presents, from a Traditional Chinese medical perspective.
