Developmental Perspective

Counseling for ADHD often takes into account the developmental trajectory of the disorder and its implications across the lifespan. Counselors may work with clients to identify developmental milestones, assess how ADHD symptoms have evolved over time, and explore the impact of ADHD on various life domains (e.g., education, work, relationships). They may also address developmental challenges and transitions, such as the transition to adulthood or parenthood, through supportive counseling and skill-building interventions.
