    Hello, I think that as the parent you know your child best and it is probably a good idea to seek a second opinion.  Perhaps try taking her to a private psychologist or psychiatrist even her pediatrician.

    If she is diagnosed with adhd do you plan on using medication? I just ask because from what you are saying she seems to be doing well with a highly structured environment and some reminders. If she’s not having any problems ie low grades, extreme frustration with school work, low self esteem, social problems etc it might be best at least for the time being to just stick with the things you have already been doing to help her.

    I am currently going to school to become a special education teacher and one of the things you can have the teacher do is… When your daughter is given an assignment at school have the teacher keep on eye on the clock and every 15 minutes look at your daughter and record the time and whether or not she was attending to the task at hand. This will give both of you an idea of how well she is paying attention and it could be a tool for you to take with you when you try to get her diagnosed.
