[QUOTE="Edconparent, post: 411238, member: 11298"] From your description, it sounds as though ADHD should be tested. I think your best bet is to go to a local Licensed Psychologist who can perform a ed/psychiatric evaluation. and has experience testing younger children. You should ask for an IQ using the WISC variant for younger children. Weschler IQ tests have a number of sub-scales (verbal, memory, performance) that are compiled to create the composite score. Typically, ADHD conditions will show lower scores in the Working Memory sub scale and/or Processing Speed sub score. Since you suspect ADHD, the psychologist will no doubt do some additional ADHD-specific tests. Between the IQ and ADHD specifics, I think you'll get a pretty good idea of what you are dealing with.
