Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Evidence-based ADHD assessment and therapy for children in Greater Noida — helping children focus, manage behaviour, and unlock their true potential through expert, compassionate care.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation that are excessive for the child’s age and significantly impair daily functioning in at least two settings — such as home and school.
ADHD arises from executive dysfunction — difficulties with self-regulation, cognitive inhibition, time management, task initiation, and sustained attention. It is primarily genetic, with a heritability rate of 70–80%. ADHD is divided into three presentations: predominantly inattentive (ADHD-I), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (ADHD-HI), and combined presentation (ADHD-C).
In India, approximately 11.3% of primary school children are estimated to have ADHD — among the highest rates in the world — yet it remains one of the most underdiagnosed and misunderstood conditions. When left untreated, ADHD significantly affects academic performance, social relationships, self-esteem, and long-term quality of life. With the right support, however, children with ADHD thrive.
Internationally validated tools for a precise, data-driven understanding of each child’s ADHD profile — forming the foundation of every therapy plan.
Of primary school children in India are estimated to have ADHD — one of the highest prevalence rates globally, and significantly underdiagnosed.
Heritability rate of ADHD — it is primarily a genetic condition, though environmental factors in early childhood can also play a role.
Diagnosis and structured intervention before age 7 dramatically reduces the long-term academic, social, and emotional impact of ADHD on a child’s life.
ADHD is not one-size-fits-all. Understanding which type your child presents with is essential for designing the right therapy programme — which is why accurate assessment at Child Development Centre comes before any treatment begins.
The child has significant difficulty maintaining focus, following instructions, completing tasks, and staying organised — but without obvious hyperactivity. Often mistaken for laziness or low intelligence. More common in girls and frequently missed by parents and teachers.
The child is constantly moving, talks excessively, interrupts others, acts before thinking, and has extreme difficulty sitting still. Impulse control is the core challenge. This type is more easily spotted and more often diagnosed early — particularly in boys.
The most common type — the child shows significant symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Daily functioning is affected across multiple settings including home, school, and social situations. Requires a comprehensive, multi-modal therapy approach.
DSM-5 criteria require at least 6 symptoms persisting for 6+ months, present in at least two settings, and developmentally inappropriate for the child’s age. If your child shows many of the signs below consistently, seek a professional assessment.

At Child Development Centre in Greater Noida, we offer a comprehensive, evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to ADHD — all under one roof, designed around each child’s individual assessment profile, not a generic template.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps children with ADHD recognise unhelpful thought patterns, manage emotional responses, develop self-regulation strategies, and build routines that support consistent focus and behaviour in school and at home.
Applied Behaviour Analysis uses structured reinforcement to reduce disruptive behaviours, build attention skills, establish daily routines, and teach positive social behaviours — with measurable, data-tracked outcomes for every child.
Many children with ADHD have co-occurring speech, language, or pragmatic communication difficulties. Our specialist speech therapists address these alongside ADHD — improving clarity, social communication, and language-based learning skills.
OT helps children with ADHD develop fine motor skills, handwriting, daily living independence, executive function strategies, task organisation, and sensory processing — making academic tasks and daily routines more manageable and less overwhelming.
Many children with ADHD have sensory processing differences — they are over- or under-sensitive to stimuli. Sensory integration therapy helps regulate the nervous system, reduce sensory overwhelm, and improve the child’s ability to focus and learn.
Our special educators develop individualised academic programmes using multi-sensory teaching methods, structured learning environments, and adaptive techniques — helping children with ADHD access the curriculum and build genuine academic confidence.
Targeted coaching to build the executive functioning skills that ADHD impairs — planning, time management, impulse control, task initiation, and working memory — giving children practical tools they can apply every day in school and life.
Children with ADHD often struggle with peer relationships, turn-taking, reading social cues, and managing conflict. Our social skills training builds these competencies in a structured, supportive group or individual setting.
We equip parents with evidence-based strategies for managing ADHD at home — consistent routines, positive reinforcement, homework structures, behaviour management, and school communication techniques that make a measurable difference every day.
Parents across Greater Noida, Noida, and Delhi NCR trust Child Development Centre for ADHD because of one thing — real results. Here is what makes our centre genuinely different.
Unlike large multi-branch clinics where children see different therapists each visit, at Child Development Centre Dr. Manish Sinha is directly involved in every child’s assessment and therapy journey. With 20+ years of experience, RCI registration, and ISHA membership, his consistent, expert involvement is the single most important factor in our children’s progress.
We are intentionally one focused centre — not a franchise chain. Every senior therapist, every resource, every clinical innovation goes to the children enrolled here. For ADHD therapy, where consistency, routine, and therapist knowledge of the child are critical to success — this single-centre model produces dramatically better outcomes.
ADHD shares symptoms with anxiety, learning disabilities, sleep disorders, and autism. We never guess. Every child undergoes a comprehensive evaluation using Conners Rating Scale, BRIEF, CBCL, Sensory Profile, VB-MAPP, and ABLLS-R — ensuring an accurate diagnosis and a therapy plan built on evidence, not assumption.
ADHD rarely travels alone — it co-occurs with learning disabilities, anxiety, speech difficulties, and sensory issues. At Child Development Centre, our behavioural therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, special educators, and clinical psychologists coordinate every child’s care — delivering a unified, integrated programme that addresses the whole child.
Our ADHD treatment process in Greater Noida follows a structured, proven pathway — from your first consultation with Dr. Manish Sinha to measurable, meaningful improvement in your child’s daily life.
Your journey begins with a direct consultation with Dr. Manish Sinha. He takes a detailed developmental history, discusses your child’s behaviour across home and school, listens carefully to your family’s concerns, and observes your child directly. Parents frequently describe this session as the first time someone truly understood what their family had been experiencing.
We conduct a structured, multi-tool evaluation using Conners Rating Scales (parent and teacher forms), the BRIEF (Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function), CBCL (Child Behaviour Checklist), and where relevant, Sensory Profile and VB-MAPP. This assessment confirms the ADHD diagnosis, identifies the presentation type, and maps all co-occurring difficulties — so therapy addresses the complete picture.
Based on assessment findings, our multidisciplinary team — behavioural therapist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, and special educator — designs a fully personalised ADHD therapy programme. Goals are specific, measurable, realistic, and time-bound. Every child’s plan is different because every child’s ADHD profile is different. The plan is discussed in full with parents.
Therapy sessions combine behavioural therapy (CBT and ABA), occupational therapy, sensory integration, speech therapy, executive function coaching, social skills training, and special education support — each element selected based on your child’s individual assessment results. Sessions are structured, engaging, and build on each other progressively. Consistency is protected — your child’s therapists know them deeply.
ADHD management extends well beyond the therapy room. We provide parents with practical daily strategies — homework routines, behaviour management, positive reinforcement systems, and structured daily schedules. We track progress with data, review goals regularly with Dr. Manish Sinha, and can coordinate directly with schools where needed. You are always informed, always involved, always supported.
Parents who bring their children to our ADHD centre in Greater Noida consistently see the same journey — arriving overwhelmed, leaving transformed. Here is what structured, expert ADHD therapy achieves:
Children develop the ability to sustain attention on tasks, complete schoolwork, and engage in activities without constant redirection — often within weeks of structured therapy beginning.
As executive functioning, attention, and learning skills improve, academic performance follows. Children who were failing or struggling begin completing work, understanding instructions, and building genuine school confidence.
Meltdowns, emotional outbursts, and frustration episodes reduce significantly as children learn self-regulation strategies, emotional awareness, and behavioural coping tools through consistent therapy.
Social skills training and improved impulse control help children navigate peer relationships — reducing conflict, improving turn-taking, and building the friendships that childhood depends on.
With parent training and consistent home strategies, homework battles reduce, routines become manageable, and family relationships improve dramatically. Parents feel equipped and confident instead of exhausted.
Perhaps the most important outcome — children stop believing they are “broken” or “bad.” They develop a positive identity, understand how their brain works, and build the self-belief to tackle challenges with resilience.
