[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. This is so confusing! I have a 6.5 year old diagnosed with ADHD but based on pediatrician / teacher checklists. School is challenging although semi-manageable. Have a prescription for meds but have not filled it. I was debating getting a neuro-psych evaluation at close to 7 and prior to 2nd grade. I doubt we are looking at other LDs, just the attention and resultant executive function issues. [/quote] Please get a neuropsych evaluation or see a developmental pediatrician. I would not give medication based just on checklists b/c a lot of things can look like ADHD. You may be medicating unnecessarily. I would also switch pediatricians.[/quote]
