Submit The Education Haven Subscribe to The Write Site Job Newsletter ~New~ Look Who's Taking Ritalin by Katherine West Subscribe to Learning4Life Powered by groups.yahoo.com The following articles are from Learning 4 Life, Katherine West's Education column on ADD, giftedness, and other educational and parenting issues: Teachers Can Move Minds by Katherine West I believe that teachers have the ability to inspire our children even more than we do as parents do. For the simple reason that they are teaching them, creating the foundation on which they will build their academic careers and life's work. Statistics support this fact. In a popular psychological study, teachers were told that a child would struggle and have problems learning. That child did fail. Then teachers were told that this other student was very bright and that he or she had what it took to be a good student. This child succeeded. Both of the aforementioned children were of equal intelligence- an average I.Q. What does this tell us? This tells me that if a teacher expects a child to succeed then they will. My favorite teacher of all time was my English teacher in high school. She was one of the strictest teachers that I ever had. She accepted nothing less than excellence. I have found that if a teacher challenges us, we often rise to the occasion. Mrs. Brenda Neal was the person whom I can thank for my appreciation of the written word. She unveiled literary treasures, inspiring me to take pleasure in reading beautiful works of art. By exposing me to the works of Shakespeare, Dickens, and Homer, she introduced me to vibrant characters that resided in whimsical, far-off places. She brought the works to life in her classroom. No, they didn't sit in those old dusty books.

Instead, ADHD : A Path to Success offers a new and refreshing perspective on ADHD that makes sense with your own personal daily experience. ADHD : A Path to Success takes it out of the realm of medical mystery and psychobabble and describes a new, no drug, no diet, no nonsense, patented treatment technology. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is not a deficit, defect or neurological disorder. Rather, it is a highly refined, short-term coping skill that backfires in the long-run. Children adapt to unpleasant situations the same way adults do, by building emotional defenses. ADHD is a skilled defense that children develop against the unpleasant situations we put them in at home and school. Once the aversiveness of these situations and the ADHD type defenses are extinguished, attention improves, agitation and hyperactivity decreases, school and homework are much easier to handle.

It is hard for these children to control their behavior and/or pay attention. It is estimated that between 3 and 5 percent of children have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or approximately 2 million children in the United States. This means that in a classroom of 24 to 30 children, it is likely that at least one will have ADHD. The principle characteristics of ADHD are
Extractions: FOCUS: Reading, Writing, Rithmetic, and Ritalin Can it be a disease if no X-ray, CT scan, blood test, laboratory analysis, MRI, or any other medical test can confirm its existence? Can it be a disease if diagnosis can be made by a non-physician checking any 8 of 14 items on a behavior checklist such as inattention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, or short attention span? Yet, an estimated two million children (three times as many boys as girls) have been labeled with this disease and are taking a powerful drug to treat it. That's four times as many as in 1990. The disease is Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and the most widely used drug to treat it is methylphenidate, known as Ritalin. A powerful stimulant, it juices up the central nervous system, takes effect in 30 minutes, and peters out in three to four hours. Ritalin is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance in the same category as cocaine, methadone and methamphetamine. In 1991 the U.S. Department of Education formally recognized ADHD as a handicap under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. After the Department directed all state education officers to ensure that local school districts establish procedures to screen and identify ADHD children and give them special educational and psychological services, generous funding suddenly began to flow.

Staff application SEMESTER COURSES: Appalachian Trail Yellowstone Southeast Coastal Southwest Success Oriented Achievement Realized (SOAR) features success oriented, high adventure programs for LD, ADHD and ADD young men and women. PO Box 388 * Balsam, NC 28707-0388 Website designed and hosted by C-4 the WebStore SOAR believes all individuals identified with learning disabilities (LD) and attention deficit disorders (ADD, ADHD, AD/HD) possess inherent talents, abilities, and gifts, which we harness during our summer camps, fall and spring weekends, winter break program and semester courses. The SOAR model is founded on two fundamental principles. The first principle is youth with LD and ADHD flourish when they are encouraged to focus on their strengths in an experiential setting, such as summer camp and outdoor adventure activities. The second principle is that youth with LD and ADHD must develop and utilize strategies that enable them to deal with the challenges associated with LD and ADHD. Students participating in SOAR's summer camps, weekend, winter break and semester courses take part in adventure experiences as diverse as camping, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, SCUBA diving, sea kayaking, and horseback riding. These activities provide the venue for developing problem-solving skills; effective communication strategies; increased self-awareness and general social skills. By achieving this success at SOAR, each student builds essential self-esteem and self-confidence that translates into all walks of life. Even though SOAR serves youth with LD and ADHD exclusively, our students do not view SOAR as a LD or ADD summer camp or an LD or ADHD adventure program. Matter of fact, our students will probably not hear the terms learning disabilities or attention deficit disorder or the acronyms, LD or ADHD, during their SOAR experience. SOAR moves past the labels and focuses on strategies for dealing with the challenges associated with
