ADHD diagnosis: what families should know
Positive Kids does not diagnose ADHD. Diagnosis should come from an appropriately licensed healthcare professional using a complete evaluation, not a website checklist or tutoring session.
Expect more than one data point
A careful evaluation may consider development, functioning in more than one setting, history, interviews, rating scales, and other possible explanations.
Use the results educationally
Coaching and tutoring can help build practical systems and academic skills alongside any recommended clinical care.

This page provides general educational information and cannot evaluate an individual learner. For diagnosis, medication, nutrition, mental health, DBT, counseling, or treatment, consult an appropriately licensed professional.
