Evaluating ADHD is a painstaking, fact-gathering process.  One brief visit to the family does not a diagnosis make.  To get a thorough evaluation, parents can turn to a wide variety of health professionals-from pediatricians to child psychologists to neurologists-as long as they are knowledgeable about the condition.  A complete assessment includes five major steps.
 
Step #1: Background information.
Step #2: Physical exam.
Step #3: Observation of behavior.
Step #4: Parent interview.
Step #5: Parent and teacher rating forms.
