ADHD
I. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
A. Having a hyperactive, and easily distracted child could be frustrated for a parent trying to teach their kids how to behave in public or teaching them how to follow directions, I have experienced this frustration with my youngest child. As a parents we were seeing some differences between my kid and others, my child since he was about six month old, seemed to be uncomfortable and always in movement, not listening or paying attention when somebody was trying to talk to him. At that time I didn’t think about something wrong on my kid, it was when he was in pre-kinder when I could see the differences between him and the rest of the kids. My problem was not being informed and convinced on time to look for help then. I started looking for help when my son was on 5th.

    EDFS 352 Research Paper Ellen Kerr

    The prevalence of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is considerably high in school age children. Three to five percent of students are diagnosed with ADHD. These students also account for fifty percent of the students that receive special education services. The number of adults that are being diagnosed with ADHD is also climbing. Currently, referrals of adults for ADHD are also increasing at a rapid pace; until the 1990s and even to date, this age groups has been a markedly underrecognized and underserved segment of the ADHD population (Barkley, page 1. 2014) People with ADHD exhibit symptoms such as excessive movement (mostly in younger children,) loud play, and academic difficulties due to inattentiveness and hyperactivity. ADHD is very often comorbid with other disabilities, especially with learning disabilities. These symptoms must have begun before seven years of age, persisted for at least three months, and symptoms must occur across multiple settings. ADHD must be medically diagnosed. Due to the prevalence of ADHD, there has been quite a significant importance on the different treatment approaches for individuals with ADHD. Some practices focus on the medical and psychopharmacutical approach for treating ADHD. There are also alternative approaches to the treatment of ADHD. Others choose to combine these different approaches and practices.…

    Informative Speech On Adhd

    Did you know 6.4 million people in America are diagnosed with ADHD, I myself am on those people. ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, in a basic summary it is when a person has an abundant amount of energy and can't focus on a certain subject or task. Of these 6.4 million people that are diagnosed, the average age of diagnoses was 7 years old. I believe this an extremely high number of diagnoses at a young age that should not go overlooked. These children with ADHD are then given medicine, by their parents, that contains stimulants such as amphetamines which is supposed to reduce their excessive energy.…

    Most Common Behavioral Disorders of Childhood

    ADHD, or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a behavioral condition that makes focusing on everyday requests and routines challenging. ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorders of childhood. In 2000 the disorder affected 3 to 7 of every 100 school-aged children (American Psychiatric Association (APA), 2000). Today ADHD affects between 1.5 and 3.5 million school-age children in the U.S., or an estimated 5% of all boys and 2% of all girls. This makes ADHD a major health concern. Up to 60% of these children will continue to have symptoms into adulthood. According to the National Institutes of Health, more than a million children take prescription medicines to control hyperactive behavior. The estimated cost to schools is about 3 billion dollars. There are other ways of treating ADHD and throughout this study we will discuss how to treat ADHD as well as explore how ADHD affects youth.…

    Debate Adhd Debate

    There has been a debate over whether ADHD is being overdiagnosed, thus overmedicating patients. The rate of ADHD diagnoses has increased immensely. In 1990, 900,000 youths were diagnosed with the disorder; while in 2000, three to four million children are diagnosed with the disorder (Mayes, 2009). This increased rate can be attributed to many factors. The age range for the diagnosis of ADHD has broadened, allowing more children as young as four to be diagnosed with the disorder (Rubin, 2011). Previously, a child had to be at least six years old to be diagnosed with the disorder. Medicaid money spent on pharmaceuticals, much of which is spent on stimulants (which are used to combat ADHD symptoms), increased by $6.1 million from 1991…
