Malcolm is a 9-year-old male in the 4th grade at the public elementary school. Malcolm
has recently been diagnosed with ADHD, combined presentation. Malcolm struggles
with being fidgety and hyperactive; he often gets into trouble at school for blurting out
answers, getting out of his desk when he should not be, and hitting other children when
upset. Malcolm also has a hard time focusing on anything other than video games at
home. His parents report homework takes “all night” though it should only take 30
minutes. Malcolm has assigned chores but often gets distracted. For example, Malcolm
was to take out the trash but got distracted in the driveway while taking out the trash
and left the full bag in the driveway. He often misplaces the combination code for the
lock on the house door.
