The document provides an overview of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), including its definition, clinical presentation, diagnosis criteria according to DSM-V, epidemiology, common comorbidities, prognosis, and management approaches. ADHD is defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects about 5-8% of children and 2.5% of adults worldwide, and diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms, impairment, age of onset, and ruling out alternative causes according to DSM-V criteria. Management involves behavioral interventions, stimulant medications, and other pharmacological and non-pharmacological options.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders that can persist into adulthood. It is caused by deficiencies in two neurotransmitters in the brain. Symptoms include fidgeting, distraction, excessive talking, and disorganization. Treatment includes medication, behavioral therapy, education, and lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. Managing ADHD requires a team approach with parents, teachers, doctors, and the patient working together.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral disorder characterized by inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity that impairs functioning. There are three subtypes - Hyperactive-Impulsive, Inattentive, and Combined - defined by specific symptoms present for at least six months. Possible causes include heredity, pregnancy/birth complications, brain injuries, and environmental toxins. Diagnosis involves onset before age 7, impairment in multiple settings, and ruling out other disorders as the sole cause of symptoms. Parents suspecting ADHD should consult their child's pediatrician and teacher.
This document provides an overview of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), including its main symptoms, types, causes, treatments, and preventions. ADHD is a mental illness commonly diagnosed in young people characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. There are three main types - predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive/impulsive, and a combination of both. While the exact causes are unknown, ADHD tends to be hereditary and may involve chemical imbalances or brain changes. Treatment focuses on medication and therapy to control symptoms, as ADHD cannot be cured. Prevention strategies include avoiding toxins, head injuries, smoking/drinking during pregnancy, and maintaining a healthy diet.
ADHD is a common childhood disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. It is caused by differences in brain development and may run in families. Symptoms include lack of attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. Treatment involves medication, behavior therapy, and support systems to help manage symptoms and prevent associated problems.
The document discusses attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It describes ADHD as a neurobehavioral condition characterized by impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. Boys are diagnosed more often than girls. While the specific causes are unknown, ADHD is thought to involve genetic and environmental factors and differences in brain development and function, particularly involving the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. Left untreated, ADHD can negatively impact individuals academically, socially, and increase risks such as accidents and school dropout. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and treatment typically includes behavior modification, cognitive therapy, and medication.
ADHD is a disorder characterized by inattention and/or hyperactivity that interferes with functioning or development. It typically emerges early in life by age 7 and symptoms are most severe during elementary school. It is defined by at least 6 symptoms of inattention and/or 6 of hyperactivity/impulsivity according to the DSM-IV criteria. ADHD occurs worldwide with a prevalence of 3-7% in school-aged children and tends to run in families. It is diagnosed based on the number and severity of symptoms, ruling out alternative causes, and impairment in functioning.

1. ADHD is a neurobehavioral disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects about 5-9% of school-aged children in the US.
2. There are three main subtypes of ADHD - inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, and combined presentation. Symptoms must be present before age 12 and persist for at least 6 months.
3. Effective treatment involves a comprehensive approach including medication management, behavioral therapy, education/academic supports, and lifestyle changes like regular exercise and sleep routines.
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 learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It defines learning disabilities and ADHD, describes their characteristics and prevalence. It discusses the identification process and assessments used to diagnose these disabilities. It also outlines common academic and behavioral issues associated with them, as well as recommended intervention strategies.
This document discusses dual exceptionality, specifically children who are both gifted and have ADHD. It defines ADHD and the criteria for diagnosis. It notes that giftedness can mask ADHD, making identification difficult. Early detection is important so these children do not fall into patterns of underachievement. The document provides characteristics of gifted students and those with ADHD to help distinguish between the two. It suggests differentiating instruction and accommodations to meet the needs of gifted students with ADHD.
The document provides information on assistive technology and its use for students with disabilities. It defines assistive technology as any device or service that helps individuals with disabilities function. Studies show assistive technology can significantly improve educational and social outcomes. Schools are required to consider assistive technology needs annually in students' IEPs. Examples of assistive technologies discussed include hearing aids, FM systems, and tools to help students with ADHD focus and organize their work.
The document discusses several key aspects of special education including:
1) The federal categories of special education disabilities and examples like specific learning disability, speech impairment, and autism.
2) The learning environments of students with special needs, with 80% typically in regular classrooms requiring additional supports.
3) The individuals involved in IEP development including parents, teachers, representatives and the student.
4) Elements of IEPs like present levels, goals, family involvement and instructional implications.
5) Approaches to support students such as positive behavior supports, differentiated instruction, study skills and functional academics.
A learning disability is described as:-
A state of arrested or incomplete development of mind
Significant impairment of intellectual functioning
Significant impairment of adaptive/social functioning

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
