Peter is a 12-year-old, fifth grade student with ADHD. Peter’s reading and math skills are
two years below his grade level. Peter is repeating the grade, however, he is still struggling
with his academic work and failing every subject. His teachers describe him as being
disruptive and oppositional in class. Teachers complain that he does not pay attention and
is very playful as a result he fails to complete all his tasks that are meant to be completed in
class. Peter’s parents were contacted and the mother asserted that Peter is very playful, he
also gets frustrated when he has to do his homework. According to Schuck and Crinella
(2005), ADHD students are not dumb, lazy or out of control, they are smart kids who need
to be assisted in order to be successful.
