[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 629730, member: 6235"] Something you can do while waiting is to get a complete physical from her Pediatrician so you can determine if there is a physical reason for her behavior. In addition, get a hearing test and vision test done.... and no, not a "screening" by your Pediatrician, but a test by an ophthalmologist and an audiologist. Why you ask, there are disorders that can "look" like ADHD; one example is Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) (auditory processing disorder). So you want to rule out any hearing/listening and/or vision issues your child may have that could be contributing to her behavior. Since there is no "medical" test for ADHD, there is often a process of elimination when trying to get a diagnosis. Therefore, getting these tests completed will help when moving on in the diagnosis phase so you, the school and/or other medical professionals can "cross off the list" any physical, hearing or vision reasons for her behavior.
