ADHD
QUIZ - CHILDREN'S

The following is a brief questionnaire for parents
of children who may suspect that their children have ADHD. Remember,
this is only a questionnaire, not a complete diagnostic assessment
tool. I strongly recommend you to seek professional evaluation before
making any determinations about treatment decisions.
If you
are between the ages of 12-18 and want to rate yourself, try the
Adolescent Questionnaire.
Questionnaire
for Parents of 10- to 18-year-olds
For ages 6-9 go to the next questionnaire
Answer these
questions keeping in mind that you want to compare your son or daughter
with what you feel the average child his or her age is experiencing.
For example, on the question, "Is your son or daughter inattentive
or easily distracted," think about how your son or daughter
would compare to peers in his or her age group. Also consider the
duration of the symptoms. If the symptoms have been taking place
for less than 6 months this could be a sign of another problem such
as depression, anxiety or just stress in general. Please consider
these factors as you choose rate your child.
