Tots and Vision ATTENTION DEFICITS Click here to download PDF pamplet A Developmental Approach Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or AD(H)D is being diagnosed with increasing frequency in both children and adults. Many of these individuals were previously labeled hyperactive or minimally brain damaged. It is estimated that 10 to 15% of school-age children presently have this disorder. The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), published by the American Psychiatric Association, classifies three types of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive, and combined. Six of nine symptoms of inattention, and six of nine of hyperactivity and impulsivity are necessary. In each case, the symptoms must be present for at least six months to a degree that is maladaptive and inconsistent with developmental level. In addition, some symptoms must be present prior to age seven, and in two or more settings (e.g. at school, work and home). There must be clear evidence of clinically significant impairment in social, academic or occupational functioning, and the impairment cannot be caused by other disorders such as anxiety, psychosis or a pervasive developmental disorder. Even though it is generally assumed that people diagnosed as having AD(H)D evidence a common set of characteristics emanating from a common etiology, little agreement is found among researchers regarding these symptoms. Some symptoms seen in children diagnosed as having attention deficits include:

Children with ADHD have a variety of needs. Some children are too hyperactive or inattentive to function in a regular classroom, even with medication and a behavior management plan. Such children may be placed in a special education class for all or part of the day. In some schools, the special education teacher teams with the classroom teacher to meet each child's unique needs. However, most children are able to stay in the regular classroom. Whenever possible, educators prefer to not to segregate children, but to let them learn along with their peers. Many of the strategies of special education are simply good teaching methods. Telling students in advance what they will learn, providing visual aids, and giving written as well as oral instructions are all ways to help students focus and remember the key parts of the lesson.

When A Child Has AD/HD, What Can a Parent Do To Help? - CHADD Fact Sheet #2 Often, when a child is diagnosed with AD/HD, the first response from his or her concerned parent is, “What can I do about it?” Although life with your child may at times seem challenging, it is important to remember that children with AD/HD can and do succeed. As a parent, you can help create home and school environments that improve your child's chances for success. The earlier you address your child's problems, the more likely you will be able to prevent school and social failure and associated problems such as underachievement and poor self-esteem that may lead to delinquency or drug and alcohol abuse. Early intervention holds the key to positive outcomes for your child. Here are some ways to get started: Don’t waste limited emotional energy on self-blame. AD/HD is the result of dysfunction in certain areas of the brain and in the majority of cases is inherited. It is not caused by poor parenting or a chaotic home environment, although the home environment can make the symptoms of AD/HD worse. Learn all you can about AD/HD.

There are many parents out there that do not have a clue how to begin to do that and that is because the information and resources aren't a given in many school systems. EVERY child in this world learns in a different way!

Below, you will find a variety of links and resources to help you with these often times frustrating processes.

Due to her Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and a reading and vision disability, it was not an easy task to help my daughter. She needed patience from a doctor with a combination of "tough love" to get the tasks done and a special blend of gentleness and caring. Dr. X has been wonderful in knowing how instinctively to deal with my daughter at each Vision Therapy session. The progress has been slow but steady and each month a new discovery about my daughter's eyes is made. She was unable to read a children's book with big print, now she's reading materials that the teachers thought were not possible before.

Sept 2004 Is an IEP appropriate for a 7 year old child just diagnoised with AD/HD? Should I request an IEP from the school? We have not yet tried drugs, but I want to get more information before we try them. I wonder if the school/teacher would give him more attention if he has an IEP in place, or if this would lable him. ANy help is really appreciated. Thanks. Mom A diagnosis of ADHD does not make your child eligible for an IEP. Only students with one (or more) of the 13 disabilities recognized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act may receive special education services. So, unless your child has another disability (such as a learning disability, which often occurs concomitantly with ADHD), an IEP is out of the question. Medication should ALWAYS be a last resort – something you try when you’ve tried everything else and your child is still not meeting with success. Many teachers and administrators will suggest medication because it’s easier than trying to implement behavior plans and educational plans and doesn’t cost the school district anything. As a special educator, I know how important and therapeutic meds are for some kids. But it’s important to explore all other options.

You are here: Home Special Needs ADD/ADHD ADD/ADHD: New Perspectives on Attentional Priority Disorders Articles Recommended Reading Related links At the present time there are increasing numbers of children who are being diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. There are many views on the cause for this increase and little agreement among those working in the field. Is it a medical problem? Is there something in children's home or school environment that is causing hyperactivity and lack of concentration? Are there pollutants in the environment that may be sources of dysfunction? May food allergies have to do with disruptive behavior? Most ADHD authorities believe that between 3-5% of children have ADHD, yet because of certain children's disruptive behavior a growing number teachers and parents are requesting medication from their doctors. Is medication currently being over-prescribed? It appears that children who are truly ADD/ADHD should be medicated sooner rather than later as many ADD/ADHD adults have discovered after years of agony; however, should physicians take the time and care to analyze other factors in their patients' lives? For those children who do not have medical causes, what are other ways of dealing with their behavior? We hope to offer in this area of our website a number of articles that will present a variety of approaches to identifying and working with this important issue. We also offer a number of links to other credible and useful resources.

ADD/ADHD FAQ : What Does It Mean for Parents and Families when Their Child is Diagnosed with This Condition? by Anne S. Robertson "What is ADD/ADHD?" All children may have some of these behaviors, at an age-appropriate level, or during a transitional phase, such as after the birth of a new baby in the family. However, the ADD/ADHD child will show a pattern, over a period of years, of having a number of these characteristics at levels that are not situation- or age-appropriate. The scientific study of the ADD/ADHD condition has been extensive although the name has changed over the past few decades. In the past, children who have had signs of this condition have been labeled as fidgety, minimally brain damaged, hyperkinetic, or having minimal brain dysfunction (Goldstein, 1992). The American Psychiatric Association outlines the criteria for defining ADD/ADHD, including the presence of at least 8 of 14 behavior characteristics (Wodrich, 1994). The diagnosis of ADD/ADHD should not be made quickly. It should include information from a variety of significant adults in the child's life including the parents, teachers, physician, and psychologist who specializes in the field, as well as input from the child. It may also be helpful to have a learning specialist involved since ADD/ADHD children frequently have special education needs such as giftedness or difficulty in math. As research continues, some specialists are encouraging people to think of ADD/ADHD not as a disorder, but simply as a different style of learning which, when supported, can enhance the student's innate abilities.
