ADHD In Classroom
I chose Attention Defect Hyperactive Disorder or ADHD. Some characteristics of ADHD are hyperactivity, impulsivity, unable to concentrate and or sit still. Children with ADHD have a hard time concentrating in the classroom, excessive talking which interrupts the lesson being taught and it makes it difficult for the teacher to provide all the information needed when there are consent disruptions and having to redirect a student repeatedly. Students that share a classroom with a student with ADHD are at a disadvantage if these disruptions are on a consistent basis, it does not allow the other students to focus and receive the information being given to them by the teacher. ADHD does not completely present a total loss within the classroom,

    ADD/ADHD not Just a Kid Problem

    What do you know about ADD or ADHD? How can ADD/ADHD affect a student if they are not treated in time? "Attention deficit disorder (ADD) and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are condition listed as developmental disorder in the classification manual for psychiatric, psychological, and mental disorder." (Steinberg & Othmer 2) When people hear about ADD/ADHD they assume that only kids and teens have this problem, but there have been some cases that this diagnosis has been found when someone reaches adulthood. ADD/ADHD today is a really common disorder; on average 2 out of 20 adult students have ADD/ADHD and they do not know they have it. If this diagnosis is not treated at a young age, people that have ADD/ADHD and who are not aware they have it can struggle a lot, especially when they get into college.…

    Adhd in Young Children

    A case study shows that 9% of all American children have ADHD or (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and only a small percentage of those children take medication for it. As a mother of 3 (2 of them under the age of 6) having ADHD, I know what its like to put medicine in one child, and not the other. My oldest is easier to handle, and not as violent as his younger brother. My child on medicine is only able to control on the medicine. While medicine may be meant for one child, it could be the absolute opposite for another. There are different kinds of medicines on the market for children with ADHD. Is it okay to put a child on any kind of medicine for behavioral problems, and if so what kind is right for which child?…

    Adhd Research Paper

    For the past 100 years how to treat children with ADHD has been among controversy. I am sure you are wondering what is ADHD? Several families have found themselves asking the same questions. ADHD is a common developmental and behavioral disorder. It is characterized by poor concentration, distractibility, hyperactivity, and impulses that are inappropriate for the child's age. Children with ADHD are easily distracted by sights and sounds in their environment, cannot concentrate for long periods of time, are restless and impulsive, or have a tendency to daydream and be slow to complete tasks. (webcenter.health.webmd.netscape.com/content/article/45/1663-51211, 2006). In my research…

    Adhd My Perspective

    I selected education and children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as my topic of interest after brainstorming. I can personally relate to this topic because my 13 year old son and 18 year old daughter were diagnosed early. I have been working in the public school system for over ten years and I have seen the impact of ADHD on students (pre-K-5th grade), their families and the school. We are not allowed to tell the parents that their child I ADHD because it has to be diagnosed by their Healthcare provider. We see the symptoms and have to be involved in the process but that takes time. During this period of time we may see the gambit of symptoms described. I have seen a lot of children receiving medication as a treatment and I have a feeling that there are some instances of over diagnosis and over treatment.…

    Adhd: Disorder or Cop-Out

    Each year, millions of children are at risk of being misdiagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), and prescribed potentially harmful medications for this disorder. 9.5 percent, or 5 million, children in the United States were diagnosed with ADHD as of 2007. 2.8 million of those children received a prescription for a stimulant medication, such as Ritalin or Adderall, in 2008 (A Misdiagnosis, Anywhere). Do all of these children actually have ADHD? No. Therefore, do all of these children need ADHD medications? Definitely not. This will be proven throughout this article. Being easily distracted, failing to pay attention, not being able to sit still, forgetfulness, talking non-stop, and hitting others are the symptoms that determine if a child has ADHD, but almost all children act this way (washington.edu). It is normal. Children should be given the opportunity to grow out of the symptoms that classify them as having ADHD. Some children just simply are not as mature as others their age, but that is not a good enough reason to assume that the child has ADHD, especially with the serious side effects that can occur with the prescribed medications.…

    Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD)?

    This paper explores four published sources that report on the ways in which society has resorted to misdiagnosing today’s male youth with Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as a way to stop undesirable childhood behavior that is otherwise normal. The article takes into consideration possible factors that may contribute to the increasing amount of misdiagnoses among children today. With studies conducted in the articles by Ilina Singh (2005) and Lydia Furman (2005), the authors put focus on the moral dilemmas that arise for parents when deciding whether or not to medicate their children for ADHD. This paper discusses common societal misconceptions about ADHD and they ways in which it is being mistaken as a disease rather…

    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

    In regards to why a person, who may have individual conditions or disorders, as well as negative family and community influences, refrains from becoming a violent offender. I would say a counselor or psychologist would be a great first step. As we know the environment that an individual may be surrounded by may influence them and the person that they may become and sometimes professional help is the only alternative. Also, a person’s mental incapability’s or conditions may render them useless in certain conditions and depending on the circumstances they may offend in a violent manner.…
