II. Reason for Referral
Timothy is being referred to due to having learning difficulties in school. Timothy is
o
noted as having average grades. However, Timothy's grades fluctuate tremendously
aC s
throughout the school year. Timothy is being referred due to having difficulties with
vi y re
organizing school tasks and his schoolwork area at school and home. Also, additional
concerns are he is currently struggling with grammar and vocabulary.
Timothy is being evaluated for a possible learning disability and/or potential (ADHD)
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. A Neuropsychological evaluation will be

situation (Wu, Anderson & Castiello,2002).

III. Current Symptoms/Presenting Concerns
Th
Timothy has difficulty organizing his work for school, which includes homework and
his workspace. Timothy seems to have trouble with tasks with multiple steps and
tends to skip or leave out necessary steps. Timothy's grades are average, but they tend
to vary a lot. Timothy has always had problems with grammar and vocabulary.
Currently, Timothy is experiencing conflict with his math teacher. Timothy has
always loved mathematics and solves problems without showing his work; this causes
friction with the teacher as the teacher wants Timothy to show his work. The teacher
has given implications that Timothy may be cheating, which causes combative
behavior between Timothy and his teacher.
