Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD)

Overview:

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It's a brain disorder that affects how you pay attention, sit still, and control your behavior. It happens in children and teens and can continue into adulthood.

ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder in children. Boys are more likely to have it than girls. It's usually spotted during the early school years, when a child begins to have problems paying attention.

ADHD can't be prevented or cured. But spotting it early, plus having a good treatment and education plan, canhelp a child or adult with ADHD manage their symptoms.

3 Types of ADHD

Primarily hyperactive-impulsive type Act “as if driven by a motor” with little impulse control moving, squirming, and talking at even the most inappropriate times. They are impulsive, impatient, and interrupt others.
Primarily inattentive type (formerly called ADD) Difficulty focusing, finishing tasks, and following instructions. They are easily distracted and forgetful. They may be daydreamers who lose track of homework, cell phones, and conversations with regularity
Primarily combined type Amixture of all the symptoms

Education and Support:

Children with ADHD benefit greatly from structured, consistent, and supportive learning environments. Effective approaches include:

Individualized Education Plans (IEPs): Tailored strategies to support academic performance.
Behavioral therapy: Helps in managing impulsive behaviors and building self-control.
Classroom accommodations: Preferential seating, extra time on tasks, and clear, step-by-step instructions.
Occupational therapy: Enhances motor skills, self-regulation, and daily routines.
Parental training and counseling: Helps families create supportive home environments.
