What is multimodal treatment?
For most individuals diagnosed with ADHD, no single treatment is the answer. The most beneficial treatment typically involves a combination of two or more of the following: medication, behavioural therapy, psychotherapy, emotional counselling, social skills training, family counselling and support, parent skills training, educational management, time management training, and developmental therapies such as language therapy. This combined therapeutic approach is known as multimodal treatment. The particular combination of therapies recommended will depend on an individual’s circumstances and needs. The multimodal approach to the treatment of ADHD commonly involves numerous agencies and professionals.
