“Adam Smith is an 8-year-old boy in the second grade with ADHD. He recently moved to New Hampshire, and this is the fourth move he has experienced in four years and the fourth school he has attended in the same amount of time. Because of this, his peers in class are slow to accept the newcomer. Making friends is nearly impossible for him, so he has relied on his mother for companionship. Adam’s parents divorced due to domestic violence when he was three years old. Although his father now lives in Idaho, Adam maintains a reasonably good relationship with his father and sees him during the summer and during breaks in the school year. Adam’s mother, who also has ADHD, works full time in management for a national corporation. Her job requires that Adam attend before- and after-school care at the school. After work, his mother is often too tired to enforce the rules she has established for homework and behavior, so Adam experiences inconsistent expectations.Adam’s mother is receiving notes from his teacher about his disruptive behavior in the classroom and lack of attention to instruction. This is not unusual; she received similar information from Adam’s teachers in the schools he previously attended. This time, however, she reaches out to the school psychologist, who suggests professional counseling for both of them.One of the suggestions made by the mother’s psychologist is that she look into requesting therapeutic recreation services through the school district for Adam. You are the CTRS for the school district. In addition to working with teachers to promote inclusive practices, you often meet with students and their families to create treatment plans to address their concerns in and out of the classroom. In your meeting with Adam and his mother, you note the following information.

Medications: Recent medication change to Strattera; used to take Adderall XR but was losing too much weight”
