Age 2 is way too young to determine if a child is really ADD or ADHD. The testing required for that is only reliable on a child age 6 and older. Please wait until your child has had at least one year of school (Kindergarten not preschool) to have him/her tested.

At that age it is very different to distinguish between ADHD related behaviour and simply terrible twos behaviour. The best, although still not very reliable, free method to make an evaluation is to observe how long your child is able to hold interest with fine motor toys, and compare that with an observation for your child's ability to focus on gross motor toys. The most reliable method you could conduct would be to have an EEG performed, but at age two the results will still not be conclusive, and, unlike Bose-Einstein Condensate, simply knowing that your child has ADHD won't change its behaviour.

It requires an assessment by a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist. Two years old is likely too young for assessment and treatment.
