I hope that you keep in mind that a child can be gifted and have ADHD. And, working with a team evaluators will help you gather objective data necessary for understanding what is going on and what is interfering with his performance. It could be ADHD, it could be lack of sleep, Lyme decease, and learning disability, boredom or any combination of these and more. It is probably best to go into the evaluation process without preconceived notions and to stick to the "referral question" "What is interfering with his ability to stay on focused on academic tasks, daily routines etc".

The key to answering this question will be the gathering of information you need to understand your child's cognitive, medical and learning profile to rule in or rule out causes. This will allow you to formulate an effectuve plan to help your child. By working with a team of experts you can get to the bottom of this much more quickly.

Best of luck.
