Question

Katie is an 8 year old Caucasian female who is brought to your office today by her mother and father. They report that they were referred to you by their primary care provider after seeking her advice because Katie's teacher suggested that she may have ADHD. Katie's parents reported that their PCP felt that she should be evaluated by psychiatry to determine whether or not she has this condition.

The parents give you a copy of a form titled "Conner's Teacher Rating Scale-Revised". This scale was filled out by Katie's teacher and sent home to the parents so that they could share it with their family primary care provider. According to the scoring provided by her teacher, Katie is inattentive, easily distracted, forgets things she already learned, is poor in spelling, reading, and arithmetic. Her attention span is short, and she is noted to only pay attention to things she is interested in. The teacher opined that she lacks interest in school work and is easily distracted. Katie is also noted to start things but never finish them, and seldom follows through on instructions and fails to finish her school work.

Katie's parents actively deny that Katie has ADHD. "She would be running around like a wild person if she had ADHD" reports her mother. "She is never defiant or has temper outburst" adds her father.
