Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Services
Services May Be Covered Under Extended Health Care Benefits.
At Launch Behavioural Health, we offer evidence based services to support children, youth, and adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Individuals with a diagnosis of ADHD often have difficulties with executive function skills, which are cognitive processes that help us learn, work, and manage our behaviours and emotions in everyday life. Children and youth with a diagnosis of ADHD may experience difficulties at home and school with regulating their behaviours and emotions, getting along with peers, and performing up to their potential academically. Adults with ADHD may experience difficulties with friendships and relationships, performing to their potential at work, and balancing work and home responsibilities.
At Launch, we offer evidence based services to support individuals with ADHD develop executive function skills to thrive at home, school, and work. Goals we target include:
- Emotion and behaviour regulation
- Organization and time management
- Task initiation/managing procrastination
- Demonstrating flexibility and problem solving skills
For children and adolescents, sessions are a combination of in-person and virtual formats. Caregiver sessions are conducted virtually. For adults, sessions are either in person or virtual.
Our services incorporate the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy/Training (ACT/ACTr) and are delivered by our team of Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Psychologists. Services for children and youth often have a parent coaching component to ensure generalization of strategies and skills outside of the treatment setting.
