Sachs Center, New York City's premier treatment center for ADD, ADHD, anxiety, depression and social skill deficits

Welcome to the Sachs Center, New York City's premier treatment center for ADD, ADHD, anxiety, depression and social skill deficits.

Spills happen. But for some reason, spills, mistakes, blunders, snafus, mess-ups, do-overs and screw-ups happen more to children and adults with ADD.

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be very debilitating disorders if not carefully managed and supported.

If not diagnosed and treated, a teenager can grow into an adult who has accumulated years of failure, missed opportunities, damaged self-esteem and possible drug and alcohol abuse. Careers, work and home life can suffer greatly.

Fortunately, there are answers. We provide a comprehensive approach to managing and overcoming ADD and ADHD in children and adults. It takes a team approach to be successful, coordinating with family, school, psychiatrists and ADD coaches.

Once, ADD is identified and managed, the true benefits of ADD emerge. Creativity, out of the box thinking, drive, passion, invention, and leadership are just some of the gifts of ADD.

What Is A Pediatric Neuropsychologist?

Pediatric neuropsychology is a professional specialty concerned with learning and behavior in relationship to a child’s brain.

A pediatric neuropsychologist is a licensed psychologist with expertise in how learning and behavior are associated with the development of brain structures and systems. Formal testing of abilities such as memory and language skills assesses brain functioning.

The pediatric neuropsychologist conducts the evaluation, interprets the test results, and makes recommendations. The neuropsychologist may work in many different settings and may have different roles in the care of your child. Sometimes, the pediatric neuropsychologist is a case manager who follows the child over time to adjust recommendations to the child’s changing needs. He or she may also provide treatment, such as cognitive rehabilitation, behavior management, or psychotherapy.

Some pediatric neuropsychologists work closely with schools to help them provide appropriate educational programs for the child.

Why Does My Child Need Testing?

By comparing your child’s test scores to scores of children of similar ages, the neuropsychologist can create a profile of your child’s strengths and weaknesses. The results help those involved in your child’s care in a number of ways.

• Testing can explain why your child is having school problems. For example, a child may have difficulty reading because of an attention problem, a language disorder, an auditory processing problem, or a reading disability. Testing also guides the pediatric neuropsychologist’s design of interventions to draw upon your child’s strengths. The results identify what skills to work on, as well as which strategies to use to help your child.

• Testing can help detect the effects of developmental, neurological, and medical problems, such as epilepsy, autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, or a genetic disorder. Testing may be done to obtain a baseline against which to measure the outcome of treatment or the child’s development over time.

• Different childhood disorders result in specific patterns of strengths and weaknesses. These profiles of abilities can help identify a child’s disorder and the brain areas that are involved. For example, testing can help differentiate between an attention deficit and depression or determine whether a language delay is due to a problem in producing speech, understanding or expressing language, social shyness, autism, or cognitive delay. Your neuropsychologist may work with your physician to combine results from medical tests, such as brain imaging or blood tests, to diagnose your child’s problem.

• Most importantly, testing provides a better understanding of the child’s behavior and learning in school, at home, and in the community. The evaluation can guide teachers, therapists, and you to better help your child achieve his or her potential.
