FOR CHILDREN AGES 3 TO 18
Children's ADHD Support Program
A step-by-step, whole-child approach to supporting children with ADHD
Is This Program Right for Your Child?
If your child has been diagnosed with ADHD—or you’re in the process of getting a diagnosis—you may be wondering:
“Are there other things we can do to support my child?”
My Children’s ADHD Support Program is designed to help parents explore the nutritional and health factors that may be contributing to their child’s symptoms and identify practical, individualized ways to support their child.
This program is available for children and teens ages 3–18 and can be used alongside conventional ADHD care.
It may be appropriate for children who:
Have been diagnosed with ADHD.
Are currently being assessed for ADHD.
Have attention, focus, emotional regulation, behavioural or other neurodivergent-type concerns.
Are considering ADHD medication and want to explore additional treatment options.
Are already taking ADHD medication and would like additional nutritional and lifestyle support.
This program is in compliment to your child's doctor or paediatrician, and works collaboratively with other health professionals such as counsellors, occupational therapists, and speech language pathologists. It is not meant to replace their care.
THE SYSTEM OF CARE
Three Phases, One Complete Picture
Each phase builds on the last, so your child only moves forward as far as they need to.
Phase 1: Investigate
Approximately 1 to 3 weeks
We start by taking a closer look at your child’s health, nutrition and individual needs.
Depending on your child, this may include:
A detailed health and nutrition assessment.
Review of dietary patterns and food intake.
Assessment of factors that may affect nutrient status.
Blood work when appropriate.
Investigation of key nutrients that can be important for children with ADHD and attention-related concerns.
Nutrients we may investigate include:
Iron • Vitamin D • Omega-3s • Zinc • Magnesium
Blood work is not required for every child. When testing is appropriate, it can help us determine whether a nutrient deficiency or insufficiency needs to be addressed.
Start by booking your child's Initial Assessment.
Phase 2: Replenish
Approximately 2 to 4 months
Once we understand what your child needs, we work on correcting nutritional gaps through food, targeted supplementation, or a combination of both.
This phase is highly individualized.
For children with sensory sensitivities, selective eating or food aversions, we take those challenges into account rather than simply telling your child to “eat more of” foods they already struggle with.
Depending on your child’s needs, repeat blood work may be recommended to assess progress.
Many children experience improvements during Phase 2, and moving on to Phase 3 may not be necessary.
Phase 3: Targeted ADHD Support
As needed
For children who need additional support, we can move into more targeted ADHD-focused strategies.
This may include specific nutritional supplements such as L-theanine or saffron, when appropriate for the individual child.
This may include referral to an appropriate, skilled health professional.
The goal is not to automatically add more supplements.
Instead, we build on what we have learned from the first two phases and determine what additional support, if any, makes sense for your child.
Care That Works Alongside Your Child's Team, Not Instead of It
This program is designed to complement, not replace, the care your child already receives from their doctor or paediatrician. It also works collaboratively alongside counsellors, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, and other professionals supporting your child.
What Makes This Approach Different?
What makes this approach different?
Rather than jumping straight to an ADHD supplement, we take the time to investigate first.
Every child is different. A child who struggles with focus, impulsivity, emotional regulation or behaviour may have different nutritional and health needs from another child with similar symptoms.
This program gives us a structured way to look at the bigger picture and create an individualized plan.
What if my child takes ADHD medication?
This program can be used alongside ADHD medication.
Nutritional assessment and targeted support may provide additional support for children who are already taking medication. Your child's medication and dosing should continue to be managed by their prescribing physician or other qualified healthcare provider.
The goal is to work with, rather than against, your child's existing medical care.
Collaborative care
Your child doesn't have to choose between naturopathic care and their other healthcare providers.
This program is designed to work collaboratively with your child's:
My goal is to provide parents with evidence-informed information, thoughtful investigation and practical support while respecting the important role of your child's existing healthcare team.
Wondering what else you can do to support your child?
If your child has ADHD, or you're currently navigating the assessment process, and you want to understand the nutritional and natural options available, this program can provide a structured place to start.
