Saw a provider's bio specifically mention being 'CADDRA-trained' and now I'm wondering whether that's some kind of required specialty certification for treating ADHD, or an optional extra credential some providers have and others just don't bother with.

Specifically looked for CADDRA mention when picking a provider, felt like a meaningful signal of actual ADHD-specific focus rather than someone who treats it occasionally among a broader general caseload. Not required, but mattered to me personally in choosing.
