disorders. An infamous 1985 study by Howell, Huessy & Hassuk conducted a longitudinal assessment of more than 200 students over a period of some 15 years, taking assessments during 2nd
grade, after the 4th and 5th grades, again after 9th and 12th grades, and once more three years after graduation. The results of this assessment were among the first to
conclusively establish the diagnosis of ADD as a primary predictor of the manifestation of social adjustment and emotional disorders in adolescence and young adulthood. Consequently, it becomes an important issue
to intervene in cases of ADD as early as possible to mitigate the potential development of such serious issues. Moving forward, it will be critical to assess which early caregiver
