Where do I start in having my daughter tested for ADHD?

Lisa asked:


I’ve suspected my daughter has had ADHD since she was 3. She can’t seem to sit still and is always on the go. When other kids sit calmly, she just doesn’t seem to be able to. She is 5 now and in school. I’d like to have her tested for ADHD. How do I go about this? Do I take her to her regular doctor to get this started?

    Yes, you can go to your regular doctor, or you can talk to her social worker or counselor at school.
