Each patient with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), with or without hyperactivity, is unique in the variety and severity of the handicapping conditions associated with ADD. The use of a well-designed teacher rating scale can provide the clinician with a behavioral profile of each patient. The importance of knowing the child's specific problems is emphasized by the results of this research, which show that methylphenidate has a major effect in improving attention, is helpful in decreasing activity level, but often has only a minor effect on deficient social skills and oppositional (aggressive) behavior.
每一位患有注意力缺陷障碍（ADD）的患者，无论是否伴有多动症状，在与ADD相关的障碍状况的种类和严重程度上都是独特的。使用精心设计的教师评定量表能够为临床医生提供每位患者的行为概况。这项研究的结果强调了了解儿童特定问题的重要性，结果表明哌甲酯在改善注意力方面有主要作用，有助于降低活动水平，但对社交技能缺陷和对立（攻击）行为通常只有轻微影响。
