When it comes to ADHD treatment options, there are a many approaches to treatment which can be daunting to understand, especially for parents concerned about the development of their child. Dr. Alter and his colleagues emphasize thorough assessment as the starting point for any effective treatment. The traditional treatment for ADHD emphasizes medication, primarily stimulants. Dr. Alter's experience and research indicate that medication should be a final step in treatment, not the first approach tried, for many behavioral disorders, including ADHD and learning problems. 

Additionally, some ADHD patients may respond poorly to medication, and the patient or their parents may object to some of the long-term effects of medication. There are a number of alternative therapies that offer relief from symptoms of ADHD without the use of medications, at all.
