This paperwork of ESE 315 Week 3 Discussion Question 1 
ADHD consists of: 
Business - General Business 
ADHD. “Researchers have not identified a primary cause of 
ADHD. They believe that it is probably related to a 
combination of biology, genetics, and the student’s 
environment” (Powell Driver, 2013, Section 5.4). While you 
may encounter very young children who exhibit behaviors 
similar to the characteristics of ADHD, it is unlikely that they 
will be specifically diagnosed with ADHD. However, when 
working with school-aged children, it is more likely that you 
will encounter students who have been diagnosed with 
ADHD because “ADHD affects approximately 3-10% of 
school-age students” (Powell Driver, 2013, Section 5.1). For 
this reason, it is important to understand this condition in 
order to have a plan of action should you or a parent 
suspectADHD,andtoknowhowtosupportthosechildrenwhodo. 
Forthisdiscussionpost,youwillcreatean information sheet that

How IEP or 504 plans can help a child with ADHD in the 
classroom 
n example of a student diagnosed 
with ADHD along with the proposed solution. This can be an 
actual child you know (just be sure to exclude the child’s real 
name) or it can be a hypothetical child 
When taking a test, remember that it is just a test. Many 
people get intimidated by tests thinking that they are more 
than they really are. They are supposed to be a review of 
what you have already learned in your class. Having 
confidence in yourself and studying well can help you do well 
on them....
