If you suspect your child has ADHD, you might need to wait a year to find out for sure...
If you suspect your child might have ADHD, it could be temporary. According to David Rabiner, Ph.D., attention problems in the classroom often DON'T carry over into the next school year. In a group of kids rated by different teachers, 50% of them fell in the normal range a year later, and 30% of kids with at least six symptoms of ADHD had NONE the following year. Dr. Rabiner explains, for some children, attention problems at school can be related more to classroom factors such as disruptive peers.
