Does Threaded Care diagnose ADHD?

No. Diagnosis and treatment decisions stay with your child's qualified provider.

Can teachers see everything?

No. You decide who to connect with and what is shared.

Why record good moments?

What works is as useful to a teacher or provider as what does not.

What if my child has not been diagnosed?

You can still organize observations. Talk to a qualified provider about whether an evaluation makes sense.

Can something other than ADHD explain the behavior?

Yes. NIMH notes stress, sleep and other conditions can look like ADHD, which is why evaluation matters.

For parents of children with ADHD

Your child's support should not depend on repeating the whole story.

How can parents keep a child's ADHD support coordinated?

Keep one running record of what each adult notices at home, at school and at appointments, including the good moments, and decide who can see it. When teachers and providers can work from the same picture, fewer conversations start from zero. Threaded Care helps you organize those observations and permissions. It does not diagnose or treat your child.

What this can look like

Illustrative examples, not customer stories or testimonials.

Illustrative example: a new school year

Over the summer, Tasha's son got a new teacher. Instead of a long email from memory, she shares a short summary of what helped last year and what the teacher can watch for.

Illustrative example: noting a good week

Omar records that homework went smoothly three nights in a row after moving it before dinner. He brings that to the next appointment alongside the hard days.

What Threaded Care actually does here

Threaded Care was built around coordinating a child's picture across home, school and care.

Family information in one place

Organize notes and information for the people you support so you are not rebuilding the story each time.

Available screening, inside the app

View the screening tools available for your profile type after sign-up. A screen is a starting point for a conversation, not a diagnosis.

You control who sees what

Choose whether to connect with your child's teacher or provider, and what to share.

Resources and relevant support

Browse available resources and, when you choose to, connect with the people who support you, such as a provider or a school.

What it is not: Threaded Care does not diagnose ADHD, change medication or replace your child's provider.
