Episode Description

Rarely do primary care providers, behavioral health professionals, and school officials involved in the diagnosis and treatment of children and teens with ADHD and co-existing conditions collaborate on the care of their shared patients. Yet evidence shows that outcomes improve when they do. In an integrated care model, behavioral care managers — often trained as social workers and pediatric therapists — are embedded in primary care practices where they work with families, school teams, and medical providers to accurately diagnose children and ensure they receive the effective care and resources they need to succeed.

In this webinar, we will introduce integrated behavioral health as an effective model for the diagnosis and treatment of children and adolescents with ADHD and its comorbidities. We’ll discuss why this model enables us to make early diagnoses more effectively and we’ll share the positive outcomes we have seen over the years for children and adolescents in our practice.

In this webinar, you will learn…

  • How integrated care models work
  • The benefits of an integrated behavioral health care approach to the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD
  • How parents and behavioral care managers set up systems with school officials to monitor students’ academic performance
  • How providers and behavioral health care professionals can work together to implement integrated care services in their practices
