Sorry. That is probably what really happens in my district, but as far as I know there is not any medical way to diagnose ADHD. There's not a blood test or a brain scan that will show someone has ADHD. It's a matter of other people's observations of an individual's behavior. Do any of you know otherwise?
Often classroom teachers get a survey form from the doctor to see if the student has ADHD. Last year I had a student on a 504 because of ADHD, but none of his teachers thought his behavior indicated that he had ADHD.
