The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended that the initial treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) should be educational and behavioral. The authors surveyed the directors of special education in the United States to determine whether these services are available to children with ADHD. They determined that the diagnosis of ADHD qualifies a child for services in only 1 out of 51 departments of special education surveyed. ADHD and classroom underachievement qualifies a child for special education services in 2 out of 51 departments. Thus, in most areas of the United States, special educational services are not available to meet the guidelines of the AAP.
