ABSTRACT

Consider the case of David, a 24-year-old male who sought neuropsychological testing to assess for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

David had been taking classes at a local university for the past 4 years to complete his degree. He wanted to be assessed for ADHD because he was experiencing significant difficulties sustaining and paying attention in his classes, and his grades began to suffer. He failed his classes one semester and was placed on academic probation.
