Why is it important for social worker to remain aware of other variables associated with an ADHD?

• Why is it important for social worker to remain aware of other variables associated with an ADHD diagnosis? Answer a. so they can notify school personnel if they suspect a child may have ADHD b. so they can protect against indiscriminant diagnosis of children with “abnormal” behaviors c. so they can notify parents if they suspect a child may have ADHD d. so they can diagnose the disorder

• Answer:

  Did the answer anywhere perhaps say what type of social worker? School social worker, for example? I won't give you a definitive answer.....but offer you some thoughts to make your decision since this is yahoo answers lol I will tell you that unless a social worker is licensed as a clinical social worker he/she cannot diagnose disorders. So (D) is definitely not a good choice. To me, answer (B) is vague and what would the role of a social worker be in that situation is hard to determine. If a psychologist, for example, has diagnosed a child with ADHD....the social worker would not have a leg to stand on if he/she confronted or challenged the psychologist. So not sure how a social worker would protect against indiscriminant diagnosis, since the social worker I am assuming is not a licensed clinical social worker and can't diagnose. Honestly, I don't see a right answer that jumps right out at me. If the social worker is a school social worker, then I would probably say (A) is the best answer choice out of them all. However, if the social worker works for children's services and not attached to the school, then (C) would be the best answer in their case because they wouldn't be contacting school officials because that is not really their role. Sorry for being over analytical lol
