Open ADHD / ADD

I have 3 girls, 2 of which will be tested soon for ADHD/ADD and I don't even know if that's the problem! They struggle with math, reading, paying attention and so much more! They have times when they are just completely off the walls hyper and then when they just are off in a zone and not reachable...
