[quote=Anonymous]It's great that you're doing such in-depth research! Your DD's symptoms match my son's, diagnosed at 6 with inattentive ADHD. There is no hyperactivity in the inattentive form, but there is impulsivity - for example, my son will read under his desk at school instead of listening to the teacher, because he can't control the temptation.

My son was diagnosed by Dr. Conlon (since retired I believe), a developmental pediatrician specializing in ADHD. You can ask your DD's ped for a referral to a dev. ped. - there are plenty in the area, many of affiliated with Children's Hospital.

Or you can go to a neuropsychology practice such as Dr. Stixrud's, which also do ADHD evaluations. You are correct that they are different from other neuropsych testing.

The ADHD eval. generally consists of a parent interview in which you recount your child's behavior, a teacher questionnaire, and then the actual testing done by your child. I recall I paid $700 for DS's evaluation years ago.

Good luck.[/quote]
