During therapy, children learn to manage their behavior and how to socialize and pay attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At every age, therapy helps you improve the skills you need to succeed in daily life. For example, you may need help learning how to organize your time or control anger.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Medications<\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stimulant medications boost the brain chemicals needed to improve attention and regulate behaviors.
