Cаse: An 8-yeаr-оld bоy presents fоr evаluation of problems at school and at home. His parents report that he does not pay attention in class, he is frequently in trouble for being disruptive, and he often forgets to do his schoolwork. He has had similar problems since starting school (in kindergarten), but they are worsening. The teacher reports the patient often seems distracted.
