ADHD
What is ADHD?
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is
an ongoing behavior disorder typically diagnosed
at age five or six, although the symptoms have
usually been observed much earlier than this age.
The three key symptoms are:

                    Inattention
                   Hyperactivity
                    Impulsivity
These symptoms typically interfere with the child's functioning in
social and academic settings. To meet the diagnostic criteria, these
symptoms, exemplified must have been present for at least six
months.

Early recognition is key to treatment of ADHD
One can see why there is an age limitation on these
behaviors being defined as "abnormal," as the majority
of them are typical of much younger children. But in the
non-ADHD child, these behaviors are typically outgrown.
And, of course, there are a variety of other conditions in
which these symptoms occur other than ADHD. Your
doctor must carry out a very detailed evaluation before
the diagnosis of ADHD is made. But please don't delay! If
you or your child's teachers suspect ADHD, begin the
evaluation as soon as possible. Early recognition and
treatment of ADHD can improve your child's chances for
long-term social and academic success
While there is no proven way to prevent ADHD
itself, early identification and treatment can prevent
many of the problems associated with ADHD
Treatments
 Limit distractions in the child’s environment
 Provide one on one instruction with the teacher.
 Make sure the child gets enough sleep.
 Make sure the child gets a healthy, varied diet, with
  plenty of fiber and basic nutrients.
