Case Study Child behavioral disorder

Please answer the following questions using material learned in this module through class discussion boards, textbook, readings, or research articles. ****Make sure you indicate in your answers where the information as from (you don’t need two sources for each question- just as a submission as a whole). It may be necessary for some questions to relate material from the previous modules. *** As listed in the grading rubric, please make sure to incorporate the research article(s) into your case report in some way. This does not need to be for every question or for every article, but a connection between the research article and case study is necessary. 1. Review the DSM-5 signs and symptoms of ADHD. Which signs or symptoms does Bennett show, based on his mother’s and teacher’s reports? 2. What DSM-5 diagnosis best describes Bennett’s behavior, based on the available information? 3. Why is it important to obtain assessments from several different people in Bennett’s life (i.e. parents, teachers) 4. Why did the psychologist ask Bennett’s mother if Bennett was deliberately disrespectful to adults? 5. Describe two associated problems often observed in children diagnosed with ADHD. 6. The psychologist did not ask whether Bennett’s mother or father had problems with attention or hyperactivity-impulsivity as children or if they experience similar problems today. Why might assessing the family’s history for ADHD be important? 7. The psychologist wants Mrs. Newsome to make an informed decision regarding the best form of treatment for Bennett: medication, psychosocial treatment, or combined medication/psychosocial treatment. Based on the available empirical evidence, what should he tell her?
