5. The Plaintiff's position on custody is a8 follows: Plaintiff believes that
the child should reside primarily with her during the school year for purposes of
stability with the child once she goes to school. She did not raise any particular
fitness issues with regard to Father although her counsel indicated that they would
be raising those issues as to show why the more appropriate household is with the
Mother during the school year.
6. The Defendant's position on custody is as follows: Father believes that
he should be the primary custodial parent of the child since he has bean, in his
opinion, the primary custodial parent since the parties divorcsd. He wants the child
to be residing with him during the school year since the child is used to the home in
which he resides and is familiar with the children in East Pennsboro School District.
7. Need for separate counsel to represent child{ren): Neither party
requested.
8. Need for independent psychological evaluation or counseling: None
requested and the Conciliator does not believe any is necessary.
9. A hearing in this matter will take one-half day.
, O. Other matters or comments: This is a case where the parties seem to
be equally suitable custodial parents. Neither party had any significant problems to
complain about with the other parent. In fact, they both went to great lengths to
indicate that they know that the other parent is a responsible, caring and loving
parent for the child.
Thi. i. a .itustion where some type of .hared arrsngsment is appropriate.
The major sticking point appears to be where the child will reside for purposes of
going to school and if the child should be living in one household during the school
year. Both parties seem to agree that the child should not be going back and forth
from household to household during each week. Mother proposed that she have
the child during the schOOl year and Father during the summer months and during
the other periods of time, while Father indicated that he would agree to that same
type of arrangement with Mother. In the alternative, Father suggested a week on,
week off visitation arrangement.
The Conciliator indicated to the parties that he believed the court would set
up some type of shared arrangement so thet the child essentially would spend an
even amount of time with both parents, however it was arranged either by having
the child live in one household during the school year and the other during the
summer months and holidays and other times as well as expansive visitation rights
during the school year, or some other type of hybrid arrangement whereby both
parents have equal access to the child. The parties agreed that during the summer
months they would work on a two week on, two week off arrangement and it is
hoped that prior to the commencement of the school year and before the hearing
commences, that the parties will be able to work out their differences on an overall
schedule. If they are not, the court will simply have to come up with an

ten In addition, Naomi's son lack, age nine, lives with the family,
In terms of educational history, Lydia apparently attended the Little Brown Bear's Nursery
School from approximately three years to five years of age, Her parents recalled Lydia had
unremarkable comments from staff there In kindergarten she attended the East Pennsboro
Elementary School Her report card from then indicated that she was quite talkative and often
restless with weak letter-sound understanding, The following year she split half of the year
between kinderganen and first grade classes due to off task and immature behaviors. There was
"needs improvements" across all sociallbehavior areas, The following year she apparently
attended the Green Ridge Elementary School in lhe Cumberland Valley School District for
approximat.:ly the first marking period The teacher from that school also noted her "needing to
improve" her attention span, following directions, and cooperating with peers, Last year she
then repeated tile first grade at East Pennsboro Elementary, Again. continued difficulties with
staying on task, in spite of being on academic grade level In the second marking period she was
falling off grade level expectations a bit while having "needs improvements" for working
carefully, handwriting. and self-control

She had undergone the instructional support team process on three occasions. She had received
some form of instructional support team process The goals were usually completing homework
and time on task As of 4/98, attention proDlems were noted with her having trouble completing
paper pencil tasks even in spite of many teacher prompts, Favorably, she scored at a 97 percent
accuracy level on level 16 (End of first grade materials) reading books at that time,
Metropolitan Readiness Testing of 5/96 showed some fluctuation in her scores with her auditory
percentile of25; language percentile of 18; visual percentile of 0, and quantitative percentile of
7,
CURRENT TEACHER IMPRESSIONSIRA TING SCALE:
Lydia's current second grade teacher indicates that she has great difficulty staying on task and
completing her work Often she will wander about the room or is looking about the room even
when at her desk. Her teacher completed the Conner's Teacher Rating Scale-Revised Edition,
At aT-Score of 77 was the Conner's ADHD Index (T-Score of 70+ equals Clinical
Significance). Also in the significant range at aT-Score of71 was the hyperactivity domain.
Items endorsed under a "very much" true basis were her being inattentive and easily distracted,
restless, disturbing other children, leaving her seat, fidgeting, and having a short attention span,
CLASSROOM OBSERVATION:
On 10/16/98, the undersigned was able to observe Lydia doing a variety of activities. Upon
initial observation, she was to complete a copying/writing task, She sat in the very front of the
room and in the center. While writing some words down, she was also quite talkative with her
neighbor and they seemed to be sharing answers, After a few minutes the teacher noticed this
and the two were separated, Lydia was then in line to have her paper reviewed by her teacher
and was observed to grab at her crotch area. She then received teacher feedback and went to the
bathroom where she then showed appropriate placement of her hands, However, when back at
her desk she constantly had her thumb in her mouth, Later, the teacher was directing the class
about a new reading story, She showed variable attention sometimes following along with the
story and at other times playing with her sneaker or some other object, At other times she was
standing away from her desk or would lean back in an exaggerated fashion, When called to read
orally, she showed adequate skill when compared to her peers. When it was not her turn. she
sometimes would completely turn around in her chair and look at others behind her.
PARENT INTERVIEW:
A developmental history was obtained with Jim and Shannon on 10/9/98. The parents recalled
that during teacher conferences their general impression from teachers was that she could not sit
still, leaves her seat, in spite of seeming to have adequate academic ability, The family has not
taken her for any outside services such as speech and language or counseling help. A later
interview with Lydia's mother reported that she had received some counseling through a church
during this past summer.

born as a product of a fullterm pregnancy at approximately 6 Ibs, plus oz. There were no post
delivery complications and she did go right home with her parents.

some problems learning tie her shoes and that she was in a hurry Toilet training was achieved

other aversions

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDA nONS:
Lydia Branoff, aged 8-2, had been referred for psychological consult due to possible ADHD
concerns. She currently auends second grade at East Pennsboro Elementary School. She has
received previous intervention via the instructional support team for off task behaviors and
inconsistent work completion, While she has ahown some fluctuation in her kindergarten
Metropolitan Readiness scores, she did earn a 97% when tested with grade one materials at the
end oflast year A classroom observation of Lydia reading orally also suggested at least average
reading skills,
Lydia is a youngster who seems to be under multiple stressors in addition to having ADHD-
combined type difficulties, One notes the showing of immature behaviors in terms of over
dependency on her little brother, sucking her thumb, and some manipulative behaviors described
by both sets of parents. There certainly would appear to be an emotional component to her
difficulties also in that both sets of parents have some mistrust of each other and may relay these
attitudes toward Lydia when she is visiting with them. Historical difficulties with work
completion. self-control, and ea3<l "f dist.3ctibility has been seen as early as kindergarten l'lU
across different school systems and teachers, The parent impressions also support her problems
maintaining her focus and ease of distractibility, There also appears to be genetic support for
ADHD difficulties,
Based on the above, the following recommendations are offered:
I, Both sets of parents were encouraged to read more about ADHD and also to take stock of
Lydia's emotional difficulties and try to work together to serve her in the best manner
possible, Further, consultation with the undersigned was offered, Lydia does appear to be
under emotion duress due to the cOllllictual messages she hears from both sets of parents,
Providing her with counseling could help her adjustment and the parents' issues,
2 There should be continued monitoring by adults in Lydia's life with any demonstrations of
inappropriate sexual behavior on her pan,
.

), Lydia recently look the Slanford Achievenienl Test and these scores will be reviewed in
November for indiealions of any learning problems given Ihe parents' history, Funher
evaluation could follow
4, She should have regular hearing checks given her difficulties last year and earlier described
problems with mastery of letter-sound relations. Should her teacher notice additional
academic concerns, she may be referred for psychological evaluation,
5, A medical evaluation for ADHD difficulties would be welcomed and IlatTwould be glad to
complete teacher checklists to assess the effectiveness of this intervention,

2. A Conciliation Conference was held on DecentJer 22, 1998, with only
the Mother, who was not represented by counsel in this matter, in
attendance. The Mother stated that she had discussed the scheduled
Conciliation Conference with the Father, who indicated that she would find
out who his attorney was at the time of the Conference. However, neither
the Father nor his attorney, attended the Conference.
3. '!his Court previously entered an order in this matter on Septenber
11, 1997, after Hearing, providing for the parties to share physical
custody of thll Child on a two week on/two week off basis. The Mother was
transferred by her employer to philadelphia in Decerrber 1997. The Mother
filed this Petition to modify the current Custody order to provide for the
Mother to have physical custody of the Child during the summer school break
and the Father to have custody of the Child during the school year.
4. Based upon the Mother's representations at the Conference, the
Father's failure to attend the Conference, and the fact that the proposed
Custody arrangements basically reflect the current arrangements followed by
the parties since at least prior to the sunmer of 1998, the Conciliator
recomnends an Order in the form as attached. The proposed order permits
the Father to appeal within thirty (30) days.
