  • Only about 40%–50% of young children (ages 2–5 years) receive psychological services as part of their treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—according to the latest Vital Signsreport.
  • Behavior therapy is the recommended first-line treatment for young children with ADHD; it can work as well as medication and without the side effects.
  • Healthcare providers should first refer parents [PDF–634KB] of young children with ADHD for training in behavior therapy before prescribing medication.
