[quote=Anonymous]No, MCPS does not screen kids for ADHD. I think the first step would be your pediatrician. They will be able to help you figure out how to proceed. They might suggest a psychologist but they might not. There is a screening form that teachers can fill out which describes what they see your child do in the classroom, a kind of rating scale on typical ADHD behaviors, but it is not diagnostic. Once you have a diagnosis in place you can request a meeting with the school to develop a 504 plan for any accommodations your child might need. [/quote]
