Continuity Clinic Curriculum Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital ADHD Testing ADHD Testing Case: You are seeing Charlie, a 7 year old boy, along with his parents due to concerns for hyperactivity and inattention. After reviewing the history and completing a thorough physical exam, you think it is appropriate to begin testing for ADHD. Learning Objectives: 1. Review the current options for ADHD testing 2. Understand the benefits and downsides of the various forms of ADHD testing ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ADHD Basics • Affects 6-7% of school-age children • 3:1 male: female • Coexisting conditions o 35% oppositional defiant disorder o 26% conduct disorder o 25% anxiety o 18% depressive disorders (often lasts into teenage years or adulthood) • When evaluating for ADHD, always evaluate for learning disabilities and emotional problems that may be affecting behavior • Diagnosis o 6/9 behaviors in hyperactive/impulsive domain and/or in the inattentive domain Hyperactive: Fidgets with hands or feet or squirms Leaves seat in classroom or other settings when remaining seated is expected Runs about or climbs excessively in inappropriate situations Has difficulty playing or engaging in leisure activities quietly “On the go” or often acts as if “driven by a motor” Talks excessively Impulsivity Blurts out answers before question has been completed Difficulty awaiting turn Interrupts or intrudes on others Inattention Fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes Difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities Does not seem to listen when spoken to directly Continuity Clinic Curriculum Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital ADHD Testing Does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores or duties Difficulty organizing tasks and activities Avoids, dislikes or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort Loses things necessary for tasks or activities Easily distracted by extraneous stimuli Forgetful in daily activities o Presence of behaviors in 2 or more settings for at least 6 months o Behaviors must occur prior to 7 yo o Behaviors cause significant impairment in learning/social interactions Clinical Evaluation • AAP guideline states diagnosis requires evidence directly obtained from parents or caregivers in various settings as well as from a school professional • Use of ADHD specific scales to diagnose ADHD is not required, but can provide important descriptions of patient behavior that can be helpful to clinicians o Use of broad scales not recommended • Should include evaluation for coexisting conditions • No lab tests or other imaging techniques are necessary Overview of Options for Screening Forms: Continuity Clinic Curriculum Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital ADHD Testing From: AACAP Practice Parameters for Assessment and Treatment of Children and Adolescents with AttentionDeficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Scale Ages Benefits Limitations Brown 3-18 yo (multiple forms) Good for ADD and attention only or information processing problems Must be purchased;
