In my ten years as a teacher, I've had just one student whose pediatrician prescribed ADHD meds, much to the alarm of my colleagues. Typically, an ADHD diagnosis is the result of either a full neuropsychological evaluation, which requires several visits with a clinical psychologist and extensive observation forms for teachers and parents to complete.

Correct. In my experience it's the reason many kids don't have medication. The parents can't afford the testing.
