As a parent of a child with ADHD its like an endless day. When we are out she does not listen, can't sit still, she runs around. During meal time she will fidget a lot, kick and tap on the floor or those around her. Sometimes she doesn't finish her meals because she will just get up and leave. When doing homework she gets frustrated and aggressive because she is irritated of having to stay put. During class she is very disruptive, loses her things, and is doing bad. We get calls almost everyday.

We were referred from our Primary Dr. Stein to a mental hospital called “Los Angeles Child Guidance Clinic.” A mental hospital to look for a psychiatrists as well as a therapist was recommended for the initial screening. We were able to get a therapist named Gloria and a psychiatrist named Dr. Jones. If it wasn’t for our friends and searching online I would’ve never found these free services. Thankfully it has not given us a financial burden because we try to take advantage of all free services we can get.
