One of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether your child has attention-deficit symptoms is by taking a free, confidential attention-deficit screening test. Screening tests, such as this, are not intended to provide a diagnosis for clinical attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. But they may help identify any symptoms and determine whether a further evaluation by a medical or mental health professional is necessary. As with any other illness, you should see your doctor if you think you might have symptoms of attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder.
