ABSTRACT
Adam is an 8-year-old boy brought for evaluation by his single mother because of his behavioral problems at school. Adam has been having difficulties getting along with his classmates because of his aggressive behavior. His teacher has expressed concern to Adam's mother as he also has been having difficulties in academic performance. The teacher says he is "hyperactive"-shouting out answers, interrupting teachers, and being very disruptive in class. The teacher thinks Adam needs medication. Described as always on the go even as an infant, Adam reached his developmental milestones at a normal age, but has always been somewhat clumsy. Adam's father never lived with him and his mother.
