Have you ever given thought to what kind of medications we use to treat symptoms? Or even given thought to alternatives to treating symptoms with medications? Chances are you either just take what you are told to take or you have given this some serious thought. One set of ideas is to treat ADHD with natural remedies rather than with medication.
Alternative treatments are always being found for ADHD strugglers.
ADHD has a behavior pattern of hyperactivity, inattentiveness, and impulsivity. When this affects children it can involve children acting without thinking about what could happen as a result. There are many natural remedies for ADHD including taking supplements to avoiding food coloring. These can be used as alternatives to medication and the list appears to be quite extensive.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
