[QUOTE="SRL, post: 171255, member: 701"] The understanding of executive functions is in its infancy. I believe that there isn't an official diagnostic code for it so in cases with children and distractability, docs are telling parents EF but coding it ADHD/ADD. I think they're trying the ADHD/ADD medications because they just don't know what else to do with it. For child without other issues trialing those medications probably isn't such a big deal and might be worth it if it's going to help. For a child with other issues complicating the picture, trialing those medications is a big deal. [/QUOTE]
