Most children with ADHD have their first encounter for care within their primary clinician’s practice—their “medical home.” 

These tools help you prepare for that encounter and beyond: readying your staff, screening, diagnosis, treatment, ongoing follow-up, and negotiating insurance payments for every step your patients need.
