She is on an IEP at school and we are at a point where we are considering medications as behavioral approaches have not done enough to help her in school. What type of physician beyond her regular pediatrician would you recommend we see  for further outside the school of valuation, assessment, and potential medication management. Our physician gave us the name of three potential doctors all with different fields.
Hello thanks for asking from Chat Doctor for your health related queries can understand your concern. She has been diagnosed with ADHD and have learning disabilities. She is already on behavioral management and IEP in school, but there is no significant benefit. In such case you should consider consulting a psychiatrist preferably a child psychiatrist for her management. In ADHD medicines like Attention, Amphetamines or sometimes low dose antipsychotics as Risperidone etc. can help to reduce her symptoms of abnormal behavior and will help in focus. These medicines will reduce the symptoms of inattention and impulsivity which are main findings in ADHD. Visit a psychiatrist for details of the treatment. Thanks, I hope this helps you. Take care
