The diagnostic assessment should be initiated for children and adolescents suspected of suffering from ADHD. And clinical diagnosis of ADHD should be based on the comprehensive evaluation. A comprehensive treatment plan should be developed to manage ADHD with chronic care model. Parental training/behavior intervention and medication are the most effective treatments supported by evidence.

Behavioral intervention is the preferred treatment for preschoolers, while medicaiton combined with or without behavioral therapy is preferred for school-aged children and adolescents.
