In the past, the term "minimal brain dysfunction" was also used. Children with ADD It is estimated that children with ADD constitute 3% to 5% of the current school-age population, which would represent 1.35 to 2.25 million children. Most experts agree that ADD is a neurobiological disorder that can have multiple causes. Research indicates that children with ADD are likely to have a biological relative with ADD. In addition, evidence also suggests that neurologic, neurochemical or, in some cases, toxic factors may be involved. Other factors such as medical conditions, medication side effects, familial functioning, or environmental conditions may exacerbate an existing disorder or contribute to the development of ADD-like problems in some children (Parker, 1992).

School Business Affairs, August 1998 Reprinted with permission from ASBO International Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, most often referred to as ADD and ADHD, are terms commonly used in daily conversations, media reports and magazine articles. In schools, teachers frequently forecast increased activity levels and lack of attention on the part of students due to "spring fever" or the onset of winter holidays. Parents lament taking extended car trips because Tommy or Susie is just "too hyper." Committee members avoid being paired with Mr. X or Ms. Y because they "talk impulsively" all the time. Defining ADD/ADHD ADD and ADHD are terms associated with specific individual behaviors. In reality, the terms are not well understood (Armstrong, 1996). Reid, Maag and Vasa (1994) state that ADHD is 50 times more likely to be differentially diagnosed nosed in the U.S. than it is in Britain and France. How can such a discrepancy exist? Reid et al. (1994) cite the difference in orientation to the assumed etiology of ADHD due to the United States having assumed a medical-disease model while Britain and France have deemed ADHD to be

Many bored gifted kids are misdiagnosed as having ADHD. The problem is that parents of gifted kids with ADHD are often told, especially on the gifted email lists, "your child doesn't really have ADHD, s/he's just a bored gifted child."

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) What Are They All About? ***Caution*** This page attempts to simplify a very complex condition. While providing an overview, it lacks detail and depth. The reader is advised to investigate the topic in a more precise and in-depth manner. School is often the first place where characteristics of ADD are noted or viewed as problematic. Often it is in that school setting that youngsters are first asked to stay seated for long periods of time, maintain extended attention to a live individual, persist on a task, or wait one's turn. Youngsters with ADD experience difficulties in the areas necessary for academic success: starting work assignments, completing tasks, interacting cooperatively with others, following directions, making smooth transitions, and managing multi-step tasks. Excessive activity levels, talkativeness, interrupting, fidgeting, active and out of seat behavior, and underdeveloped social skills may also be evident. A number of factors effect performance including time of day, amount of rest or fatigue, adequacy of supervision, adequacy of medication, and so forth. Since Dr. George Still first described "moral turpitude"

Reduce the Deficits of Attention Deficit Disorder First Published Winter 1994 The Bright Ideas Resource Newsletter Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is often misunderstood. If a child is also diagnosed as hyperactive (ADHD), the youth professional or parent may find this child to be among the most perplexing and challenging to work with. Children diagnosed as ADD or ADHD are not "choosing" to be badly behaved or inattentive. Their problems have a physiologic basis. Medication can offer relief but other interventions can also help while building esteem and skills. Most kids are not systematically and comprehensively trained to be students, but it may be the child who has ADD/ADHD that experiences the most difficulty overcoming this lack of essential preparation to master specific school skills like focusing, walking down the aisle and sitting at a desk. Until sufficiently trained to perform school skills such as these, the student with ADD/ADHD may struggle in school. Here's some effective interventions.

Unique Logic + Technology, Inc. manufactures the Play Attention integrated learning system ( www.playattention.com A Texas school administrator says, "I also see a need for the university to address this in teacher prep programs. It would be tremendously helpful for new teachers to have a factual base on ADD/ADHD, so they may dispel some of the myths that are associated with this disorder." A university educator responds, "When I was in school (graduate), people didn't really talk about ADD/HD. It was seen almost as a new diagnosis. Children were still "grouped" as LD. It appears that every 5 or so years we get a new vogue diagnosis. This further compounds the problem in that children are given a label simply because that's what people are studying at the time; sort of a you see what you want to see and get what you expect phenomenon. (If you are thinking ADD/HD, you'll come to a diagnosis of ADD/HD simply because that's what you expected.)"
