Richie, a 7-year-old male, was referred for a neuropsychological assessment for possible ADHD. Testing found strengths in verbal abilities but weaknesses in processing speed and working memory consistent with inattention. Rating scales completed by Richie's mother found symptoms in the 99th percentile. A treatment plan was developed using a multimodal approach including medication, behavioral management training for parents, and cognitive rehabilitation exercises. Close monitoring of the family's ability to implement interventions was also advised to maximize outcomes.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic, pervasive childhood mental health disorder with a typical onset during early childhood, and it results in considerable impairments in social, academic, and family functioning.
Evidence-based treatments for ADHD include pharmacological interventions and behavioral interventions. Behavioral interventions typically include teaching parents and teachers how to manipulate and control the antecedents and consequences of behavior to promote increased adaptive functioning and reduce problematic behaviors. Recent innovations in behavioral interventions include using social, recreational activities to engage fathers in treatment programs, combining pharmacological and behavioral interventions to promote appropriate behaviors in schools, and enhancing special education services for youth with ADHD.
Emphasis within the talk will include a discussion of how youth with ADHD and their families can be effectively treated to reduce their roles as both perpetrators and recipients of aggressive, bullying, and other negative social behaviors.

Social Media and ADHD – Turning Distractions Into DirectionsGrant Crowell
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD.) In today’s hyper-connected internet and Social age, many of us are showing increasing symptoms of “Virtual ADD:” easily distracted, expected to multi-task more than ever before, and experiencing greater difficulty to focus long-term and prioritize. Without having the important social cues we have to work with from being in person with each other, oftentimes our online networking and relationships create big mis-communications, social fax paus, and unintentional impressions of being inconsiderate to other people’s feelings.
Compounding on the problem, both academics and behavioral psychologists that specialize in emotional intelligence, along with ADD psychologists and coaches, lack the serious expertise and personal experience needed to cover the effects of social media on people dealing from ADD: both “virtual” and genetic.
ADD is not a deficiency in a person. Honed right, it can be an incredibly special gift. But today’s understanding of how social media affects ADD, and vice versa, has huge gaps in research.
What we need today is a new type of learning: education and training from professionals with technical and communications know-how in Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, OkCupid, and many more of the online communities we spend out time in building relationships, both personal and professional. They understand people in the organic sense and the virtual sense, and understand how we are evolving like technology, and how to bring us back down to earth and make us mindful of social context, and of each other, for personal happiness and professional success. These are the new “Social Stylists.”
Learn from this presentation:
• The connection between Social Media and ADD/ADHD, and vice versa.
• How professionals in social media and other Internet communications can master “Virtual ADD” and still stay focused, organized, and effective with their responsibilities, both professional and personal.
• Social Media, and other jobs and responsibilities perfect for ADD/ADHD people.
• Tools and tips for how to manage ADD/ADHD for a happy and successful, per-fessional life.
• How to use distractions to your creative advantage, and how to set realistic systems in place for shutting them off. (Including constantly checking email and one’s social media walls.)
• How to learn the hard-to-find social cues in digital media, and make more thoughtful communications that lead to less misunderstandings, and better relationships.
• Stories from successful per-fessionals who mastered their own ADHD.

Depression was initially called ‘melancholia’(BC Mesapotamia)
Mental illnesses were attributed to demonic possession and treated by priests
Hippocrates proposed that mental illnesses were related to imbalance of hormones in the body
During the Renaissance, people were executed for mental illness but doctors believed Hippocrates who asserted that mental illness was due to natural causes
In the 18th and 19th centuries, people believed depression was inherited and that those with illnesses should be locked up

Navigating the chaos: ADHD and Addiction, Constant Mouton, Tuesday 2 May 2017.Triora
The skill outcomes for this presentation include being able to recognise ADHD in adults with addiction and a systematic approach to assessment and treatment of ADHD in addiction.
The co-occurrence of ADHD and addiction is a well-known phenomenon. It is also riddled with myths and stigma. So what do we really know about this co-morbidity. Is it true that the medicines used to treat ADHD can cause addiction? What is the true potential for abuse of these medicines? How does ADHD affect addiction and vice versa? What are the psychological implications of this comorbidity on the patients, society and the family? Dr Mouton and his team gives answers to these questions and showcase a treatment model aimed at treating all aspects of ADHD and addiction. The presentation provides up-to-date evidence-based facts about the topic of ADHD and Addiction. The content provides knowledge-based skills and insight into the epidemiology, ethiology, pathology, clinical presentation and treatment options for ADHD and co-occurring addiction.
Dr Constant Mouton obtained his medical qualifcation (MBChB) from the University of Pretoria. After gaining experience in the medical field, he continued to specialise in psychiatry at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Holding a fellowship at the Colleges of Psychiatry of South Africa (FCPsychSA) and a Dutch registration as a psychiatrist at the KNMG, he currently works as a Consultant Psychiatrist and Clinical Head of Department at Triora Recovery Clinics based in the Netherlands. Dr Mouton is an expert in e-Health products, rehabilitation and dual diagnosis treatment. He also consults at Triora International, situated in Spain and the UK.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
This post entails an alliance of ideas and research blended to inspire a lively discussion entailing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) among children and adolescents. ADHD is one of the most common mental disorders affecting children and adolescents. Thomas et al. (2015) affirm that it is a common neurobehavioral disorder, with approximately 11% of children aged 4 to 17years being diagnosed in the United States alone. The presence of geographical differences affects the rate of diagnosis and treatment in which prevalence has increased over time. Considering the fifth edition of DSM-V, for an individual to be diagnosed with ADHD, one must meet six out of nine possible inattentive symptoms such as failing to give close attention to details or being easily distracted. This is alongside the six out of nine possible hyperactivity or impulsivity symptoms such as being on the ego or difficulty for an individual to wait for his turn. Moreover, symptoms need to be present for at least six months, occur in two different settings, be present before 12 years of age, and not be better explained by another disorder (Painter & Scannapieco, 2021).
Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder has three presentations: predominantly hyperactive/impulsive, predominantly inattentive, and a combination of the two based on how many symptoms in each diagnostic category a person meets. ...

Childhood conduct problems and adult criminality
Part I, Issue Analysis
This paper will focus on childhood conduct problems and adult criminality. In the paper
deficit disorders with or without hyperactivity (ADHD)
will be analyzed and how it causes criminal activity in adulthood.
According to past research, adult males are more affected by the ADHD compared to adult women. This paper will help us understand why this is the case. It is not in all cases that a child diagnosed with ADHD will be a criminal, but the occurrence rate of ADHD patients being criminals is considerably high. About 50% of children with the disorder ends up committing serious activities of crime and widens records of arrest.
Attention Deficit Disorders With or Without Hyperactivity (ADHD)
When a person has low
brain dysfunctions
or unusual cerebral structures he/she may experience explosive rage periods that may cause violent episodes, hence violent crimes. It is these brain dysfunctions that are diagnosed as ADHD that causes antisocial behavior. It is very common to find ADHD levels among criminal justice system offenders. About 25% of inmates in prison are diagnosed with ADHD with about 70% percent of prisoners exhibiting a considerable level of ADHD symptoms. Further, there is an association of ADHD with other conditions that increases levels of offending, including deficits in neuropsychological, low cognitive and academic skills, psychological problems, defiance and aggression and also truancy.
ADHD Characteristic Traits
A child with ADHD will have concentration problems, hyperactivity and will be impulsive. The child will not be able to sit still, control his/her behavior,
will have problems with
concentration. ADHD is classified into three
cat
e
gories
: Type one is called predominantly inattentive type. Children with this disorder
show difficulty
with focusing on school work, being organized, keeping track and paying attention. The second type is called the hyperactive-inattentive. Children with this type of disorder tend to twitch and squirm,
d
o not manage to.
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

2. Introduction
Nature of the problem:
ADHD is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder of
childhood that is characterized by developmentally
inappropriate levels of
Hyperactivity
Impulsivity
Inattention
3. Subtypes of ADHD:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder –
Predominantly Inattentive Type
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder –
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – Combined
New subtype: Sluggish Cognitive Tempo
4. Epidemiology:
ADHD is considered to be the most common and diagnosed
psychiatric disorder in children, with prevalence ratings
ranging from 3% to 7% of the school aged children
ADHD occurs more often in males than females, estimates of
rations vary significantly
Ranges from 2:1 to 9:1 have been reported with the gender
differences less pronounced for the inattentive type of ADHD
Accounts for a large number of referrals to pediatricians,
family physicians and child mental health professionals –
estimated around 40%
It is considered to be a chronic disorder, with 30% to 50% of
individuals diagnosed with ADHD in childhood continue to
have symptoms into adulthood.
Have high comorbidity with other psychiatric disorders
(Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders [4th ed.]
5. Controversies and Unresolved Issues:
What is normal versus clinical?
The issue involving the diagnosis of ADHD,
inattentive type.
ADHD diagnosis and age.
6. Richie is a 7 year old right-handed male who was
brought to my office by his mother to evaluate for
possible ADHD symptoms. Richie attends his first grade
in a public elementary school. His mother is employed as
a math teacher in a community based college and his
father is an automobile mechanic.
While pregnant with Richie, mother described her
attitude as depressed and moody. In addition the mother
reported to have smoked 1.5 packages of cigarettes
within the first 1 months of pregnancy and
approximately half pack a day for the next 2 months
before quitting . She have also reported to have
moderately consumed alcohol while at the first month of
her pregnancy.
There was no diagnostic history of severe mental illness
within Riches family.
7. I. Initial Interview
I have decided to interview Richie and his mother in the
same day, separately ( the waiting time between two
separate interviews was 45 minutes).
Interviewing parent:
I will use semistructured interview
Rationale for using semistructured interview:
› The interview will focus on the specific complaints about the
child’s psychological adjustment and any functional parameters.
› However, the interview will also provides the
phenomenological data that rating scales cannot capture
Although storable data will be obtained, the small details and nuances of
parental observation will interact with my acquired knowledge (from,
research, readings, workshops etc.) – this will support my final diagnostic
conclusions.
( Barkley, 2006)
8. Important areas of evaluation would include:
Demographic information (age of the family
members; child’s date of birth; parents names
and address; and occupations; the child’s school,
teacher and physician) – obtained at the outset of
the appointment.
Child related information
› Major referral concerns: Specific questions about:
-child behavior and history of the problem
-history of other medical conditions
9. Important areas of evaluation continue:
School related information
Details about the parents, other family members and
community resources that might be available to the
family
Parental history of psychopathology
Psychosocial status
Parental stress, marital discord,
Note: The choice of the assessment tools I will employ in the latter
session will be contingent upon the information collected in the
interview phase.
10. (Sample illustrating some of the questions I
would ask Richie’s mother):
1. When the problems were first noticed or reported?
2. What parenting strategies do parents employ when Richie
misbehave?
3. Are they any current family circumstances that are related
to the Richie’s problems severity? (such as intramerital
conflict, divorce or family illness)
4. What are Richie’s relationships with his peers?
11. Child Interview:
Why it is important?
Help the clinician to correct any misinterpretations that
the child might have about why she or he is seeing the
mental health professional (e.g., “I’m crazy” etc.)
Provide valuable information about child’s internalistic
problems (such as mood states and feelings)
Indicative of child’s motivation to participate in the
therapy process
Help establish therapeutic alliance
(Barkley, 2006)
12. Sample of the questions I would ask Richie:
Do you ever find that you have been sitting in class,
and suddenly you realize that your teacher has been
talking and you have no idea what the teacher is
talking about?
Does it ever seem to you to you longer to complete
your school work than compared to other kids?
Is there anything that worries you a lot?
Is there anything that makes you angry?
13. What did interview data revealed:
Richie’s Behavior History
Richie’s teacher indicated that he exhibits difficulties focusing, sustaining
attention and has encountering ongoing classroom problems. His teacher
reported that Riche is always fidgeting in his seat, throws items at other
students and frequently leave his seat during classroom instruction. He was
placed on discipline plan and his behavior was reportedly improved. Richie
school grades are “hardly satisfactory” and his daily performance is
inconsistent. Mother stated, “one day he comes home with excellent on his
worksheet, 4 day latter he doesn’t even try to complete the work sheet, and
that’s the way it goes.”
Richie’s behavior problems were initially reported in kinder garden and have
continued troughs his first grade. Richie has been found climbing the roofs
of the houses, running into the street without looking. When Riche
misbehaved, his parents usually employed physical and verbal punishment
to enforce discipline. Rewards for good behavior included play time and
money. In describing his peer relationships, mother indicated that Richie had
always good friends in the neighborhood but they quickly become irritated
with his aggressive behavior. The mother as well reported aggressive
outbursts’; however she also stated that her son is “generally a good child.”
14. Richie has been seeing by an outpatient counselor to address
his behavior problems at home and school. He was
recently evaluated by an occupational therapist who
reported difficulties in the fine motor skills.
During the initial interview, there were no indicative signs of
motor retardation, agitation or gait difficulties. Speech
was within a normal limit, there was no indication of
difficulties with world fluency, neologisms, or auditory
comprehension. Riches affect was appropriate; his
thoughts flowed logically with no evidence of
hallucinations or delusions. However, Richie showed
signs of responding to extraneous stimuli and had to be
redirected numerous times. When he didn’t found a
particular task appealing, he lost interest quickly.
15. II. Assessment Stage
According to Fishmen (2005) the assessment is problem
oriented (not undertaking as a mere exercise in
applying assessment techniques), - designed to
answer questions not only about the diagnosis
(ADHD) but about the factors underlying the
development and the maintenance of the presented
problem (in Whitefield and Edwards, 2009).
Combinations of tools should be used.
16. Behavior checklist and Rating Scales for ADHD:
Generally used for initial screening purposes
Advantages:
› Cost and time effective (most could be completed in less
than 15 minutes)
› because they are completed retrospectively reactivity is not
a concern
Disadvantages:
› might be affected by the accuracy of the observer
› subjective (rating scales discourage complete confidence
in their reliability).
Rating scale should be selected based on multiple aspects,
including their psychometric properties, ability to screen
for comorbid conditions, completion time, cost,
accessibility and the need of self report (Madaan, 2008)
17. Connors Rating Scales (CRS):
the only scale that provides normative data for
preschool children (to age 3 years)
can be re-administered, which could help monitor
treatment response
additional utility in initial assessments, particularly
when comorbidities are suspected (Vanderbilt scale
serves this function as well).
18. Assessment tools administered to Richie:
ADHD Parent Rating Scale
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Fourth Edition
Continuous Performance Test (CPT)
CPT requires the patient to sit at a computer terminal and press keys
on the keyboard in response to visual images or stimuli that appear
on the screen.
Scorers calculate the rate of missed cues and erroneous responses.
Individuals with ADHD tend to make more errors on the test than
people who do not have the condition.

19. Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning
(WRAML-2; Sheslow & Adams. 2003) – objective
assessment of memory functions
Cognitive Functioning Tasks
Tactual Performance Test
Madaan V., DaughtonJ., Lubberstedt B., Mattai A., Vaughan B., Kratochvil J (2008).
Assessing for the efficacy of treatments for ADHD. CNS Drugs 22, 4
20. Advantages of CPTs:
Increased objectivity
Time efficient (can be taking within 15 minutes)
Have increased sensitivity for detecting inattention in
the absence of explicit hyperactivity and /or
impulsivity
can help monitor the treatment
Observing a child taking CPT can also provide
information about the motor activity and response to
commands
21. Neuropsychological Test Findings:
Results from research involving neuropsychological
testing has often suggested that children with ADHD
have problems;
› in inhibiting behavioral responses,
› with working memory,
› with planning and organization,
› with verbal fluency,
› with perseveration,
› In motor sequencing,
› with other frontal lobe functions.
22. Laboratory Tests used to assess ADHD conditions:
Blood work
Urinalysis
Chromosome studies
EEG’s
MRIs
Computerized tomography (CT) scans.
Some of these studies have demonstrated such differences
in ADHD patients such as altered Encephalographic
(EEG) activity (greater slow wave, reduced fast wave),
reduced cerebral blood flow to the striatum, or
diminished orienting galvanic skin responses.
23. However, it has been suggested that none of this
laboratory measures are of significant value in the
diagnostic process of ADHD as yet
Such laboratory studies should not be used routinely in
the evaluation of children with ADHD and when used
to be interpreted within the contest of the overall
assessment.
Only when the medical and developmental history of
physical exams suggest that a treatable medical
problem such as (e.g., seizure disorder) exists, or that a
genetic syndrome is a possibility, should this laboratory
procedures be recommended
(Barkley, 2008).
24. What the test scores revealed for Richie:
The ADHD Parent’s Rating Scale:
This scale was employed by Richie’s Mother to determine his
problematic behavior at home. Richie scored on this scale was 21
which placed him in the 99th percentile, with his mother
specifically accentuating problems with restlessness, disturbing
other children and failing to finish things. Fidgeting and
distractibility have been also noted.
General Intellectual Information:
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV) was
administered to Richie to assess general intellectual abilities.
Richie performed very well on the subsets of Verbal
Comprehension and Perceptual Reasoning. Although his IQ was
109 (in the high average range), in subtests looking at the
Processing Speed and Working Memory, he consistently scored in
the low average range of intellectual functioning. He appeared to
have difficulties in the areas requiring non-distractible attention
span for good performance.
25. Continuous Performance Test and Wide Range
Assessment of Memory and Learning 2:
On CPT’s (visual/nonverbal part) Richie showed difficulties
with inattention marked by the large number of commission
errors and difficulties of identifying targets and non-targets.
On CPT’s Auditory-Verbal part. Richie performed in the high
average on both of the Controlled Oral Fluency Tests.
The WRAML 2 memory test indicated that Richie’s overall
immediate verbal auditory memory was average, however his
immediate visual memory was in the low average range.
Sensory/Tactile:
In the Tactual performance Test (Reitan, 1979), Richie showed
average performance when using his dominant right hand and
was in high average range using his non dominant hand. Both
hands and the total time were also in the average range. On
the Line Bisecton Task There was no indication for hemi-
inattentions or hem-neglect.
26. Case Conceptualization and Diagnosis ADHD:
Results of neuropsychological testing indicated that Richie's general
intellectual functioning is in the Average, high average range . He
showed particular strengths in the areas of verbal related knowledge,
fluency and reasoning, in addition to nonverbal fluid reasoning and
good motor integration skills. This optimistic findings could help
explain why Richie's teachers often remarked how successful he can be
once he “settles down and focuses on his work”. In fact, it is quite
possible that Richie's overall intellectuals functioning's are
underestimated because of the weaknesses in mental and motor speed,
and working memory. It has been suggested that weaknesses in this
areas are often secondary to difficulties with inattention and
concentration.
Richie's Neuropsychological Tests revealed that he has indicate many
strengths. It is important to continuously communicate this strengths to
the parents to engage them in establishing appropriate treatment plan
and encourage their child to continue master his areas of weakness.
27. III. Treatment Plan
Guiding concepts and relevant research:
› Methods of treatment for ADHD often involve some
combination of behavior and cognitive modification, lifestyle
changes counseling and medication
› Combination of Medical Treatment and Behavior Management
is suggested to be some of the most effective ADHD
management strategies, followed by medication alone.
Research also cautious that while medication has been shown to
improve behavior when taking over short period of time, they
have not been shown to alter long term outcomes of ADHD.
Jensen P., Garcia J., Glied S. (2004). Cost effectiveness of ADHD
treatments: findings from the multimodal treatment study of children with ADHD. The American Journal of Psychiatry
162, 9.
28.
29. Treatment Continues:
In Richie's case I have decided upon implementing multiple treatment strategies.
It has been suggested that combination of treatment strategies contributes to favourable long
term outcomes in ADHD (Madaan V, 2008)
The treatment will consist of biological, psychosocial, and cognitive rehabilitation
interventions
› Cognitive - behaviour management
› Medication – Methylphenidate (Ritalin) , stimulant drug
• Typically the goal to reduce impulsivity and hyperactivity and improve
attention abilities
› Psychosocial treatment focuses on broader issues (improving academic
performance, decreasing disruptive behavior, and improving social
skills)
Structure play, home and school environment
Parental management (PMT) training
› Cognitive Rehabilitation therapy (involves structured activities
designed to improve cerebral functioning and teach compensation
techniques).
› Mindfulness training for children (optional alternative)
(American Academy of Pediatrics, 2000; Sohlberg, 1989).
30. Effectiveness of the intervention:
Because both parents and teachers had implemented
the program with care and understanding, no further
intervention was offered
However, this is NOT always the case (E.g., in
Richie’s case if his mother was unable to follow the
behavior management procedures or was unwilling
to attend the therapy session the outcomes would
substantially differ)
Note: That is why it is always important to assess the
family functioning and to note potential family
disruptions that would need attention to help parents
more effectively manage their child diagnosed with
ADHD
