ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention and/or hyperactivity that impairs functioning. It was originally called "minimal brain disease" but its name and understanding has evolved over time. ADHD is caused by both genetic and environmental factors that impact brain regions involved in attention, motor control, and reward processing. It is diagnosed through evaluations of behaviors and sometimes brain imaging. Treatment involves medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and improve functioning.
ADHD is a common behavioral disorder that affects children and can continue into adulthood. It involves inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. While the exact causes are unknown, it is thought to involve genetic and environmental factors. ADHD is diagnosed based on behavioral symptoms and impairments. Treatment involves medication, behavioral therapy, and accommodations at school. Managing ADHD requires a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the brain and results in a variety of inappropriate and maladaptive behaviors. ADHD is not a disease (Kajander 1995) but is a processing deficit that results in children having difficulty with inhibitory control. That is, children with ADHD lack self-control, something they cannot help. In children with ADHD, the parts of the brain that control attention and stop inappropriate behavior are underdeveloped (Barkley 1996; Kajander 1995). ADHD occurs three times more frequently in male students than female students (Reeve et al. 1995) and commonly occurs with other disorders. For example, ADHD occurs in 20 percent to 50 percent of the students with learning disabilities, in 65 percent of the students with oppositional defiant disorder, and in 20 percent to 30 percent of the students with conduct disorder (Reeve et al. 1995; Barkley 1990).
This document discusses attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including what it is, common symptoms, potential causes such as genetics and environmental factors, how it is diagnosed using rating scales, and treatments including occupational therapy, medications, and psychotherapy. Occupational therapy can help address issues like motor skills, sensory processing, and academic problems, and treats ADHD by improving underlying skills rather than just masking symptoms.
The document discusses Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), including its definition, history of labels used, prevalence rates globally and in India, and characteristics. It provides details on the diagnostic criteria for ADHD according to the DSM-IV and DSM-V, as well as the definition and characteristics according to ICD-10. The document also discusses possible biological contributors to ADHD such as differences found in brain structure and activity levels in regions such as the prefrontal cortex, corpus callosum, striatum, and cerebellum.

Diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms, history, and ruling out other potential causes. While the exact causes are unknown, genetics and environmental factors during development likely play a role. Treatment typically involves medication, behavior therapy, or a combination to help manage symptoms at home and school. Medications can reduce hyperactivity but have potential side effects, so behavior techniques are often recommended initially to teach new strategies.
This document summarizes a conference on new developments in pharmacological and therapeutic interventions for ADHD. Dr. Gabriel Kaplan and Dr. Bennett Silver presented on various topics. Dr. Kaplan discussed ADHD epidemiology and diagnosis, as well as non-stimulant treatments and new approaches. Dr. Silver presented on stimulant medications and non-medication approaches. The document provides an agenda and background on the speakers. It also reviews stimulant treatment options, side effects, and considerations for non-stimulant use.
This document provides information about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) for parents. It defines ADHD as a brain disorder causing inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Risk factors include prenatal complications and chemical imbalances in the brain. ADHD is diagnosed when symptoms impair functioning and are present in multiple settings. Treatment involves medications that increase dopamine/norepinephrine to improve focus, as well as behavioral therapies. Parents should monitor their child's progress, side effects and work with teachers/providers to implement skills training and accountability.
Jenna Knight presented on ADHD, discussing what it is and is not, common symptoms in children, adolescents and adults, co-existing conditions, challenges, positive aspects, treatment options, strategies, resources and statistics. ADHD is a neurobehavioral disorder characterized by inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity. It affects about 9% of children and 4.4% of adults in the US. Treatment involves education, medication, coaching and therapy tailored to individual needs.
This document provides an overview of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It defines ADHD as a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The document outlines the three presentations of ADHD, predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined presentation. It also discusses the causes of ADHD including genetic and environmental factors. The document summarizes treatment options for ADHD which include medication, behavioral therapy, and education. It emphasizes that with treatment and support, people with ADHD can live full and productive lives.
The document discusses signs and symptoms of ADHD in children, including difficulty focusing, being easily distracted, fidgeting, blurting out comments, and difficulty waiting their turn. It provides information on the causes of ADHD including genetics and environmental factors like smoking during pregnancy. It describes the three types of ADHD (inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, combined) and treatments including stimulant medications, non-stimulant medications, behavioral therapies, and classroom accommodations.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects 3-5% of children worldwide, being more prevalent in boys. Signs must be present before age 7. Causes may include genetic factors, exposure to environmental toxins, and brain differences. Treatments include stimulant medications, therapy, and classroom accommodations like structure and positive reinforcement. With proper support, children with ADHD can learn to manage their symptoms.
Anxiety disorders affect 12% of the Canadian population and there are seven main types of anxiety disorders that can affect children and youth. There are also several types of depression including major depression, bipolar depression, and dysthymia. Anxiety disorders and depression can have physical, emotional, and academic symptoms. Treatments include behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, and complementary approaches. Teachers can support students by developing strategies around communication, classroom environment, and instructional methods. It is important to consider a student's emotional needs in addition to their learning needs.
ADHD is the most common neurobehavioral disorder in children characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It has no single cause but is linked to genetic and environmental factors like prenatal smoking. Treatment involves medication like stimulants which are effective for 75-90% of children, as well as behavioral therapies and lifestyle changes. A multimodal approach combining medication, parent/teacher training, and lifestyle modifications provides the most effective long-term management of ADHD symptoms.
10. Brain function
Our brain has many neurons that are packed into
various regions of the brain. Each region has a job and
is responsible for a particular function of our body.
Some help us interpret things so we know what to say
or do and some interact within our body and help
regulate the function of our organs. Neurotransmitters
are produced by the neurons in tiny quantities. Their
job is to be message carriers. They stimulate the
appropriate neuron in the brain so that the message
that is needed will reach the brain region it is destined
for.
11. Definition
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), sometimes called Attention
Deficit Disorder (ADD), involves hyperactivity, difficulty paying attention and
. a tendency to act impulsively
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most
common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence
and adulthood. According to Oakland and Brue (2002), “From 6% to 8%
of school-aged children (approximately 2 to 3 million) are affected in the
United States.” Treatment of ADHD ranges from many types of
medications that are stimulants to more natural remedies. In this study
we will take a look at our brain and how it functions with ADHD, the
symptoms of ADHD, treatment options as well as ways to support
. children with ADHD

•Shifts rapidly from one task to another without
completing first task or activity
•Seems unable to play quietly
•Talks excessively
•Frequently interrupts or intrudes
•Seldom listens attentively
•Is disorganized: loses assignments, pencils, toys.
•Often seems unaware of consequences and so
engages in potentially dangerous behavior. (Allen &
Bowdery, 2010)

(environmental toxins – PCBs or Lead)
Gender – boys are 3x more likely than girls
21. Treatment
Education for the child and family
Psychological intervention
Drug treatment or natural remedies
22. Drug Treatments
The most popular drug •Popular stimulants
treatments are stimulants.
“Stimulant medications work by include:
causing the brain to synthesize Ritalin
more nor epinephrine; non
stimulants work by slowing the
Concerta
rate at which nor epinephrine is Aderall
broken down. Once the level is •Non stimulant:
where it should be the brain
functions normally,” (Silver, Straterra
2006).
23. Natural Remedies
Dietar y supplements are easily accessible and with
relatively no side affects. Essential fatty acids are
among the most popular. Essential fatty acids (Omega
3’s) are needed for proper cerebral functioning and
may aid in the transmission of ner ve impulses. Many
children with ADHD cannot absorb essential fatty
. acids nor mally
Herbal medications such as Ginkgo Biloba are
somewhat effective for disorders such as memor y
impair ment. Lemon balm is also an herbal medication
that is believed to help restore the balance and
function of the brain and ner ve cells (Br ue & Oakland,
( 2002

• Focus now on improving functioning – ADHD may be more
impairing than tics
• Complex regimens may be used, combining ADHD
medications with alpha-agonists and/or atypical neuroleptic
medications
34. :NURSING INTERVENTION
Arrange the learning environment in order to minimise distractions, e.g. seat students with ADHD away
.from windows, and take care during group work as students can become over-stimulated
.Use frequent eye contact
.Identify times and places where the student is more focused
Give frequent reminders about how much time is left to complete tasks both short-term (examinations) and
(.long-term (assignments and coursework
.Use checklists for each assignment and outline the tasks to be completed
35. Use checklists for each assignment and outline the tasks to be completed.
Ensure student attention before giving an instruction and encourage students to verbalise tasks and
instruction - first to the tutor and then silently to themselves. Emphasise critical pieces of information.
Include a variety of activities within programmes of study, such as questions, discussions, practical
activities, etc.
Use large fonts on handouts and provide only one or two main points to a page. Avoid the use of
illustrations that are not directly relevant to the task.

Editor's Notes
Predominantly inattentive ADHD (ADHD/I). Marked by difficulty paying attention. Patients may struggle to concentrate and complete tasks and may be forgetful and easily distracted. They tend to have poor organizational skills and may appear to be lethargic, sluggish, shy, anxious or constantly daydreaming. This condition is most often diagnosed in adolescent girls, and is diagnosed if six or more symptoms of inattention have persisted for more than six months, according to the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Predominantly hyperactive/impulsive ADHD (ADHD/HI). Marked by difficulty controlling behavior, with an increased risk for serious aggressive or oppositional behavior and antisocial conduct. Patients often fidget and are excessively restless. They may blurt out comments that are inappropriate and often do not think before they act. This condition is diagnosed if six or more symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity have persisted for more than six months. Combined ADHD. Combines symptoms of the other two forms of ADHD. It is the most common form of ADHD. This condition is most often diagnosed in boys of elementary-school age. It is diagnosed when six or more symptoms associated with each of the two major forms of ADHD are present.
Creativity – Children who have ADD/ADHD can be marvelously creative and imaginative. The child who daydreams and has ten different thoughts at once can become a master problem-solver, a fountain of ideas, or an inventive artist. Children with ADD may be easily distracted, but sometimes they notice what others don’t see. Flexibility – Because children with ADD/ADHD consider a lot of options at once, they don’t become set on one alternative early on and are more open to different ideas. Enthusiasm and spontaneity – Children with ADD/ADHD are rarely boring! They’re interested in a lot of different things and have lively personalities. In short, if they’re not exasperating you ( and sometimes even when they are), they’re a lot of fun to be with. Energy and drive – When kids with ADD/ADHD are motivated, they work or play hard and strive to succeed. It actually may be difficult to distract them from a task that interests them, especially if the activity is interactive or hands-on. Keep in mind, too, that ADD/ADHD has nothing to do with intelligence or talent. Many children with ADD/ADHD are intellectually or artistically gifted.
l. Be informed. Learn all you can about ADHD characteristics, it’s effects on learning and behaviors, ect… Parents of ADHD are your best source for help. 2. Move toward a project-based classroom. Allow students to choose from a variety of methods to show what they know – oral presentations, art projects, creative drama, etc.. 3. Offer choices. But don’t offer too many. Offer choices that the students will enjoy carrying out and staying on task with. 4. Give kids the tools to compensate for shortcomings. Let your students use the word processor and spell checker if their writing is not neat and they have a hard time spelling, make checklists of steps your students need to take to complete a certain task or project in which they can physically check off when they accomplish part of the task. 5. Make directions as easy. Always have the students attention before starting to introduce something new. Give students time to begin homework in class before they leave to help answer questions that could arise. 6. Monitor Progress. Look at the students assignment notebooks and/or folders on a regular basis to make sure they are doing what they are suppose to. Ask them to tell you about the goals they have for some of their assignments, feelings about your class, etc… 7. Don’t rely only on the traditional standardized tests where you sit for a long time and fill in bubbles. To an ADHD student that could be torture. Try such ideas as orally giving a test and projects. 8. Your ADHD student could be entitled to a classroom aid or some other type of service under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Check your principal or other resource.
