[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working memory and processing speed deficits can be associated with adhd but aren’t part of the diagnostic criteria. -a shrink[/quote] OP here, thank you. Is the purpose then of the tests use to differentiate what is caused by ADHD vs an LD vs an anxiety disorder? As a professional, do you find it unusual for someone with very poor executive functions to perform average to superior not only in these areas but even in testing that targets executive functions?? Thanks.[/quote] Not the pp but the purpose is to identify supports Eg someone with slower processing speed needs different accommodations. Someone with poor working memory may benefit from supports for that etc etc. they can be standalone or happen in tandem with diagnoses but aren’t core symptoms in and of themselves [/quote]
