I'd also love to know how children were diagnosed. My 10 year old was diagnosed with ADHD, but that was the result of a fairly comprehensive two day evaluation by a neuropsychologist. In that case, she was able to provide evidence and reasoning that went well beyond the "can't sit still in class" or "needs constant reminders" notes we'd get from frustrated teachers. Ironically, it was that diagnosis and subsequent lack of support from his school that led us to pull him from private school and put him in public school.
