Where do I begin if I want my daughter tested for ADHD?

My daughter is failing every subject in school. On projects and reports she does at home she gets A's. Where do I go first. I want her tested for ADHD or anything else that might be affecting her concentration.

taking and having her tested is the dumbest thing anyone could ever do!.. some of the smartest people in the world did bad in school. contrary to what the schools want you to think learning is like a finger print no two people learn the same way.
you don't need to ask yourself why your child is failing school, but why is school failing your child?
if you have her tested they are just gonna pump her up with a bunch of mind numbing drugs so all she can do is sit at school in a haze and become dependent on it and any brilliance in her head will numbed along with the rest of what makes her an individual. my best friend was given drugs for ADHD and if he dosent take them he will shake really bad and get tummy aches. the best thing for her would to be home schooled and if your not able to do that get a tutor. chances are she just needs to learn one on one and that's why she dose well at home. some of the most important smartest people in the world did bad in school. they thought thomas edison was retarded!!!..
what im trying to say is she is most likely very brilliant and i don't want that to numbed by a ADHD drug. why dont you do some reserch on "gifted learners" and encurage her to be who she is. you never know who she may turn out to be.

If you suspect your daughter has ADHD, schedule an appointment to speak with her teacher about your concerns and ask that the Teacher/Parent Comprehensive Rating Scale be conducted. Its a simple questionaire that both you and her teachers will answer. The results of the test are not concrete but used as a guideline as to how to better address your daughters' behaviors.

Other then poor grades, what other behaviors does she exhibit that would make your suspicious of ADHD? ADHD is a life sentence, and I would be very careful to evaluate many possibilites before accepting that, and especially not the medication. How old is she? What are her sleep habits? Eating habits? What is her IQ? What does she do well in school?

probably talk to a pediatrictan
