Abstract
:This article discusses issues concerning evaluation, assessment, and classification of Attention-deficit Hyperactive Disorders (ADHD). Current treatment of ADHD in psychiatric and educational classification of childhood disorders is presented. It is argued that the diagnosis of ADHD should be a “best estimate” diagnosis, based on a behavioral assessment strategy using multimethod assessment. Considerations in the selection and use of assessment techniques which may be incorporated into this process, including diagnostic interviews, behavioral rating scales, peer assessment, and observational techniques, are discussed.
