Assessing and Treating Clients with ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most frequent neurobiological

disorder in children with an estimated worldwide occurrence of about 3.4% (Coelho, Barbosa,

Rizzutti, Bueno, & Miranda, 2017). ADHD is the prevalent disorder for clients of all ages, as it

is estimated more than 6 million children (CDC, 2016) and 8 million adults (ADAA, 2016) are

diagnosed with the disorder. This is the disorder in which the brain is wired differently,

primarily affecting the frontal lobes of the brain, which is responsible for memory control,

impulsivity, behavior, and self-regulation (Templeton, 2020). ADHD is now viewed as not just a

disorder of attention in children rather it encompasses inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity

(Stahl, 2013). It is believed that genetic heritage has a connection with ADHD diagnosis despite

the exact cause is not known (Block, Macdonald, & Piotrowski, 2017).

Properly diagnosing clients with ADHD relies on carefully analyzing the presenting

symptoms and client health history to develop personalized therapy plans. For diagnosis, the

client must meet criteria of at least six or more symptoms of inattention span of 6 months such as

failure to pay attention to details, getting easily distracted, being difficulty in focusing on the

task at hand, failure to follow instructions, lack of organization, unable to complete initiated

tasks, and avoids tasks or situations (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The purpose of

this assignment is to address the three treatment decisions for a client; an 8-year-old Caucasian

qfemale diagnosed with ADHD with inattentive tendencies. The provider will also analyze the

ethical considerations that may impact the treatment plan and communication with the client.
