What assessments would you perform?
There's no specific test for ADHD, but making a diagnosis will likely include:
1. Medical exam- to help rule out other possible causes of symptoms
2. Information gathering- such as any current medical issues, personal and family medical history, and
school records
3. Interviews or questionnaires -for family members, your child's teachers or other people who know
your child well, such as babysitters and coaches
4. ADHD criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-5, published by
the American Psychiatric Association
