This is a dose-optimized, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study in approximately 100 pediatric patients (aged 6 to 12 years) with ADHD. Eligible patients will enroll to take open-label AR11 BID and undergo dose optimization activities for 8 weeks. Patients who achieve a stable dose during the dose optimization period will continue participation and will be randomized to take double-blind medication (AR11 or placebo) orally twice daily for 1 week. At the end of each double-blind treatment period, patients will be evaluated for ADHD symptoms in a laboratory classroom setting utilizing SKAMP and PERMP assessments.

At the end of the first double-blind treatment period, patients will be evaluated for ADHD symptoms in a laboratory classroom setting utilizing SKAMP and PERMP assessments. At the end of the second double blind treatment period, patients will be evaluated for ADHD symptoms in a second laboratory classroom setting utilizing SKAMP and PERMP assessments.

SKAMP-Combined Scores
Swanson, Kotkin, Agler, M-Flynn, and Pelham Scale \[SKAMP\]-combined scores measured during Laboratory Classroom Days. The SKAMP scale is a validated subjective measure of ADHD symptoms in a laboratory classroom, comprised of 13 items on which subjects are rated according to a 7 point scale (0=normal to 6=maximal impairment); maximum score 78. The SKAMP-combined score is obtained by summing the rating values for each of the 13 items, whereby the higher the SKAMP score, the greater the impairment.
Time frame: 2 hours post-dose

The SKAMP-combined score is obtained by summing the rating values for each of the 13 items, whereby the higher the SKAMP score, the greater the impairment.
Time frame: 0.75, 4, 6, 8, 10 hours post-dose
SKAMP Subscale - Attention Scores
The SKAMP scale is a validated subjective measure of ADHD symptoms. It is comprised of 13 items (grouped under the subcategories of attention, deportment, quality of work, and compliance) on which subjects are rated according to a 7-point scale (0 = normal to 6 = maximal impairment). The SKAMP-Attention subscale score is comprised of four of the 13 items with a maximum score of 24.
Time frame: 0.75, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours post-dose
SKAMP Subscale - Deportment Scores
The SKAMP scale is a validated subjective measure of ADHD symptoms. It is comprised of 13 items (grouped under the subcategories of attention, deportment, quality of work, and compliance) on which subjects are rated according to a 7-point scale (0 = normal to 6 = maximal impairment). The SKAMP-Deportment subscale score is comprised of four of the 13 items with a maximum score of 24.
Time frame: 0.75, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours post-dose
PERM-P Scores - Number of Problems Attempted
Permanent Product Measure of Performance (PERMP) assessments measured during Laboratory Classroom Days. The PERMP is an individualized, five-page math exam consisting of 400 problems. Subjects are instructed to complete as many math problems as possible in 10 minutes. Performance is evaluated using the number of problems attempted (maximum score = 400) and the number of problems correct (maximum score = 400).
Time frame: 0.75, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours post-dose
