The empirical article I chose to use was the article from the peer reviewed journal is the ADHD a risk factor for high school dropout? A controlled study. In the article it discussed worrisome which said by Fried R. (2016) “societal impact of grade retention”. Jimerson & Fried R. (1999) (2016) say that “Retained students have a lower level of academic adjustment at the end of junior year of high school. Children are more likely to drop out by the age of 19. There less likely to receive diploma and by age 20 less likely to enroll in postsecondary education programs.

I think this study was very well put together and I enjoyed learning about the different difficulties for children with ADHD in
