Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Cause Poor Concentration In A Child Despite Being Intelligent?
Hi my son can not concentrate in school and does no homework. He is very intelligent and is a sophomore in a private high school. He thinks that I need to send him to a psychiatrist for evaluation. We live in Indianapolis and I need to have him evaluated asap.
Hi, thanks for asking. I can understand your concerns. If such a child is brought to my clinic I would evaluate him for ADHD and learning disability. Both these conditions can cause school difficulty despite good intelligence. I would suggest you see a developmental paediatrician or a child psychiatrist for his evaluation. I hope I have helped you. Thank you. Dr. Meera Kotecha Developmental and Behavioural Paediatrician.
