Week 3 Discussion Board

Charlie, a six year old in the first grade, has just been diagnosed with ADHD by his family physician. Compose a list of three ways in which this diagnostic label could potentially alter the course of Charlie’s life. Next discuss the information that you would like to have that would help you determine if Charlie’s diagnosis is accurate. Finally, reply to at least two of your peers’ postings by proposing one way in which we could avoid the potential pitfalls that come from using diagnostic labels.
