Hello, Madeline! How is that little lady doing?

Yes, that can be a rare side effect of Adderall, because it can affect the blood flow to the scalp. She will most likely need to switch to a different medication.

Has her pediatrician been consulted about this?

Once a switch is made, her hair should grow back.
