A mother brings in her eight-year-old son for evaluation after he is suspended from riding the school bus for jumping out of his seat, teasing other children, and not following directions. He spends two to three hours a night with homework that he never successfully completes. His mother wants to know whether he has attention deficit–hyperactivity disorder. How should he be evaluated and treated?
