Children

In a perfect world, children and teens would grow up to be happy, healthy, functioning adults. However, there are hundreds of influences that they will encounter throughout their early lives that will have an impact on their development - both in negative and positive ways.
Symptoms of ADHD (hyperactivity, impulsivity, and/or inattention) often lead to under-achievement in school for the child.

In closing, it is important to keep in mind that difficulties in school may be caused by a combination of several learning problems.  Early identification of learning challenges is critical for the implementation of appropriate accommodations in the classroom setting.  Keep in mind that educational accommodations are a necessity for children with ADHD.  They do not behave in challenging ways deliberately; instead they struggle to function smoothly on a day to day basis without assistance.
