If doctors can diagnose ADHD, why do they send questionnaires to the
school for the teachers to fill out? The questions have nothing to do
with health (according to my not-medically-trained mind). The
questions have to do with behavior. As far as I can tell, in my state,
doctors do not make the diagnosis, teachers do.
Quoting Beverlee paul <beverleep...@gmail.com>:
I'd like to see it as well. Again, pediatricians do not have training in med
school or residency to diagnose an educational issue such as
dyslexia. They do
have training and are able to diagnose ADHD, but that's not an educational
issue; it's a physical issue.
