Common Indicators for Assessing ADHD
Attention problems in children may manifest as difficulty maintaining concentration and frequent daydreaming. Hyperactivity manifests itself as constant fidgeting and an inability to sit still. Impulsivity sometimes includes unclear answers in class and difficulty waiting for one’s turn. Parents often notice problems with organization and disorder in children with ADHD. This can sometimes lead to problems with academic performance in school and difficulty establishing and maintaining friendships. Parents and teachers frequently observe frustration or emotional outbursts in these children.
