[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look up the Vanderbilt questionnaire for ADHD. If a lot of the answers are often or almost always (just guess what his teacher would say for the school questionnaire and complete the parent version yourself) it might be worth screening for ADHD. If he only has issues at school and not at home, technically it's not diagnosabklle as ADHD because it's not manifestating in more than 1 setting. You could just have a child who feels like he's not meeting his own high standards. Someone has to be a B+/A- student. [/quote] We did Vanderbilt screening... but the pediatrician was not convinced. She said, "how are the grades?" We said, "good 2's, 3's & 4's." Pediatrician said, "Then, I really don't see a problem in school." To which we laughed, because they don't seem to fail kids or give scores lower than 2's. [/quote]
