Medication Monitoring & Clinical Tracking
A structured, clinician-guided service based on best practices from the STP (Summer Treatment Program) Medication Protocol by Dr. William Pelham and aligned with international standards in child psychiatry and behavioral science. We offer families and prescribing psychiatrists a collaborative, real-time approach to tracking medication efficacy, side effects, and daily functioning across home, school, and therapeutic settings.

STP Medication Evaluation Protocol (Pelham et al.): titration schedules, behavioral response coding, side-effect inventories
-
Vanderbilt and SNAP-IV rating scales (parent/teacher) for symptom tracking
-
Clinical Global Impression (CGI-S/I) scales for severity and improvement
-
Modified Daily Report Cards (mDRCs) to measure generalization and functional outcomes
-
PAMS (Pediatric Adverse Medication Scale) for side-effect identification
