With controversy mounting over ADHD medications, parents are seeking out natural remedies to help their children focus and control their behaviors. Natural remedies can be effectively used to improve hyperactivity, focus, and attention. This leads to students performing better in school and receiving higher grades. Oftentimes, natural remedies are coupled with nutritional programs to treat deficiencies with dietary supplements producing a high level of success.

Alternative Treament Options

While natural remedies have been found effective for many children, some parents hope to avoid any type of medication. For these families, there are other treatment options as well.

Behavior Therapy

Behavior therapy allows parents to target behaviors and use specific strategies to change them. These plans are widely used both in addition to medication as well as on their own. They can be extremely effective when properly implemented, allowing the child to learn positive behaviors. For detailed information about behavior therapy and behavior plans, see our Behavior Treament page.

Family Therapy

When a child has ADHD, everyone around them is affected. Family therapy is an excellent way to help a child with ADHD as well as support the rest of the family. For more information about this treatment option, see our Family Therapy page.

Coaching

Coaching can be applied in many different formats and provides support to the ADHD child. Coaches use techniques and strategies to help the children develop skills, improve behavior, and better understand their condition. Specially trained coaches are available; however, anyone who understands the child and is able to offer the appropriate help can be a coach. Visit our ADHD Coaching page for further information.

Diet Modification

There has been some belief that ADHD is caused by deficiencies in certain vitamins and nutrients. Naturally, one would think that if you replace the deficiencies, the condition would improve and it does to an extent. The effectiveness of dietary modifications on their own has been weak; however, when combined with other treatments, it has been much more successful. While the outcomes have been inconsistent, it may be worth a try.
