The brain is going through many changes during adolescence that can impact behavior and the level of independence that can be expected from teenage patients. Puberty is a developmental period that can especially impact behavior.

How does progression through puberty typically affect ADHD medication dosing?

➡️ Dosing and timing of ADHD medication can vary for each child. The child’s functioning is the single biggest predictor of whether or not the dose needs to be adjusted regardless if the child is 7, 13, or 17.

➡️ From a clinical perspective, dosage is not changed unless the child is not showing progress towards their individual goals.

➡️ Hormones and puberty may impact the frequency and intensity of ADHD symptoms. However, there is not currently enough research available to suggest that hormones should be considered when making any medication changes.

Always talk with your medical provider with questions relating to ADHD medication dosing.

2026 Pediatric Associates Founders Award Recipient!

Pediatric Associates is proud to announce our 2026 Founders Award recipient, All Abilities Sports! Each year, we choose a local organization to partner with for the year to honor our founding physicians, Drs. Chris Cunha and Chris Bolling. Our goal is to support and engage with local organizations that support children in our community. Here is more information about All Abilities from the founder, Samantha Payne:

“All Abilities Sports NKY started with the hope for inclusion for our own son. We wanted the opportunity for him to safely and confidently get the chance to play sports like his peers but in an environment with other children with special needs. In two years we now have an amazing community of over 500 athletes from around the Tristate. Both children and adults have found a place where they not only can play sports but form relationships with others facing similar struggles. Today, we offer monthly try it days where each month the athletes try a new sport (including but not limited to: soccer, gymnastics, korfball, tennis, putt putt, pickleball, karate and volleyball). Additionally, we offer 5 week long leagues including: soccer, baseball, bowling, basketball and track!

If you have a child with special needs, we would love to welcome you to our program. You Belong Here. For more information, see the website at allabilitiesnky.com.”
