Bill is a six-year-old boy who was referred because of inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and behavioral problems in school. During the clinical interview with his mother, she discloses that he still wets the bed regularly, he has been assigned to special education classes, and he displays some language deficiencies for his age group. The mother reports that she had a normal pregnancy and denies problems in the home. You meet with the boy and notice that his eyes are widely spaced apart and he has an elongated mid-face.

Case 2: (In one page pls)
Catherine, age 11, has been referred to the school psychologist for decreasing grades over the past six months. She has always been seen as an obedient and conscientious student, but recently her teacher has noticed that she seems to daydream frequently. It appears that she is unable to attend to directions given to the class, and that she often cannot complete class assignments. Her parents report that at home she appears restless, has a short attention span, and is not able to stay asleep. Although she has shown similar symptoms throughout her development, Sarah’s parents are concerned because these difficulties are beginning to impact her academic and daily functioning.
What initial hypotheses could be generated to help guide the identification of the condition(s) the child may be manifesting?
Are the child’s behaviors (e.g., inattentiveness) operationalized (specified in measurable form), contextualized (conditions that prompt, accelerate or depress the target behaviors are identified), and normalized (target behaviors are developmentally appropriate or inappropriate)? How can these conditions be determined?
What additional information would you need to gather from the parents, child, school, etc.?
What additional evaluations would you seek in order to help confirm or reject the hypotheses you have generated?
Conclusions?
