In Reply.— The AAP Committee on Children With Disabilities concurs with several of the issues raised by Dr Wiener. We note the need for counseling for children with ADHD and clearly support referrals to child psychiatrists when these children need psychiatric help. We also agree that working with the family represents a major component of the treatment of children with ADHD. The selection of drugs such as methylphenidate over antidepressants represents our attempt to focus treatment on the use of this drug for ADHD itself.
