Neurodiversity Holistic Treatment

Neurodiversity Holistic Treatment

 

At Flourish Family Medicine, we don’t believe in a one-pill treats-all approach. We go beyond labels, taking a holistic, person-centered approach to treatment.

We don’t see you or your loved one as a diagnosis or set of symptoms, but rather as an individual with unique strengths and weaknesses.

Initial Evaluation

We will meet with you online or in person for the initial evaluation to learn more about you or your loved one’s struggles and goals. We treat anything from ADD, ADHD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety, and other mental health challenges.

While some of you may come to us through self-diagnosis and are simply looking to affirm what you already know about yourself, others may be exploring neurodivergence for the first time.

Once the evaluation is complete, we’ll discuss recommended holistic treatment options and testing to improve well-being and quality of life.

ADD, ADHD, & Autism Spectrum Testing

Dr. Jean Hung offers evaluations of ADD, ADHD & ASD, and other mental health challenges in children ages 6-10, and Autism evaluations for children ages 2-10.

What to expect during your appointment

For ASD Testing

  • Ages 2-3: Evaluation is done via Telehealth ASD evaluations
  • Ages 3-5: Evaluation is done in person or Telehealth 
  • Ages 6-10: In person evaluation is preferred. You can expect an interview-style visit with the parent and the child, as well as questionnaires.    
  • We will gather information consisting of complete past medical history, developmental history, birth history, and any specialist notes such as OT, PT, Speech. 
  • The clinician will talk with you about your concerns, ask questions about your child’s development and medical history, and ask you to observe, interact, and play with your child.
  • The activities are designed so that we can observe how your child communicates and interacts with you and plays.
  • Some of these activities will probably feel different from the way you normally interact with your child at home—or even a little silly.
  • The clinician will ask you to use specific words or movements so that we can observe specific behaviors and interactions.
  • If we have trouble seeing or hearing you or your child clearly, we may ask you to tell us what your child said or where he/she was looking.
  • The clinician will give you feedback regarding the evaluation before the end of the meeting.

For ADD/ADHD Evaluations

There will be a combination of intake from the office visit and questionnaires to be completed by the parents or teachers.

*We do not do in-person neuropsychological testing - instead, we refer out and have resources for that.

Neurodiversity Holistic Treatment

We take an individualized approach to treatment recommendations that may include dietary modifications, nutraceuticals/supplements, and functional testing (stool, etc.) to address other imbalances and dysfunctions that could be contributing to symptoms.
