A curriculum‐based assessment approach was used to examine differences in writing fluency between normal children and children with attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder. The students' fluency in writing their first names and the digits 0‐9 was measured with 1‐min timings. The results suggest that curriculum‐based measures are simple to administer and score. As a diagnostic tool, curriculum‐based assessment may have greater relevance to actual classroom skills.
