Abstract
DuPaul (1992) suggests that the diagnosis of ADHD should be guided by the following five questions: (1) Does the child exhibit a significant number of ADHD symptoms? (2) Are the symptoms exhibited at a frequency that is greater than presented by other children? (3) Are the symptoms cross-situational and at what age did they begin? (4) Do the symptoms cause impairment across multiple domains as prescribed by the DSM–IV–TR? (5) Could factors such as other behavioral disorders, learning disability or emotional problems contribute to or better account for these ADHD symptoms? It is this last question that mental health professionals determine using an individually administered psychological assessment.
