    Description:
    ADHD is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders in children. The prevalence of ADHD in West Virginia is much higher than the national average. There has been shown to be a shortage of mental health professionals in the state and an overall need for clinician education on evidence-informed evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD.
