According to Geraldina Gaastra, a writer for Plos ONE, the average classroom will accommodate at least one student with ADHD (2). Therefore, a teacher must know and understand the disorder, and find ways to cooperate with student with ADHD. The best way to aid someone with ADHD is to first understand the disorder. The National Institute of Mental Health describes the behaviors of the

hyperactive-impulsive behavior. ADHD symptoms start before age 12, and in some children, they're noticeable as early as 3 years of age. ADHD symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe, and they may continue into adulthood. ADHD occurs more often in males than in females, and behaviors can be different in boys and girls. For example, boys may be more hyperactive and girls may tend to be quietly inattentive. There are three subtypes of ADHD: Predominantly inattentive. The majority of symptoms fall

How ADHD Affects Students Today You’re sitting in class and you know you should focus on what the teacher is saying, but you just can’t. You look out the window and there’s a lady going for a run with her dog. Then you hear the teacher say you’ll have a quiz on what you learned during the next class. The problem is, you have no notes to study because for the entire hour you couldn’t get yourself to sit still long enough to focus. While educators are constantly battling with “trouble kids” they may

difficulty maintaining attention, as well as hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. There are three types of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. There is the predominately hyperactive-impulsive, predominately inattentive, and a combination of both predominantly hyperactive-impulsive and inattentive. To be classified has having the predominately hyperactive-impulsive type you need to have at least five of the following symptoms: often fidgets or taps of hands and feet, runs around and/or climbs things

Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is found in approximately 5% of children and is characterized by disruptive patterns of inattention and/or hyperactivity and impulsivity that persists for at least six months (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The prevalence of ADHD makes it an especially important disorder to study. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013) lists

stories for his three- year old son. Hendrick’s story, “The Story of the Fidgety Philip” accurately described a little boy who had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (What is ADHD). During the early 1900’s, Sir George Still, a British pediatrician, published lectures to the Royal College of Physicians in England (What is ADHD). He described the condition as “ an abnormal defect of moral control in children” and stated that it was caused by a “genetic dysfunction” (Holland). In 1980, the American Psychological

hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) refers to developmentally inappropriate degrees of inattention, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity (Hockenberry, Wilson, & Rodgers, 2017). ADHD is commonly found in school-aged children. While some children have a problem within one of the three areas, there are others who have a problem on all three areas. Since children with ADHD are lack in attention, increased impulsiveness and hyperactivity, it carries out to how the child acts. Etiology ADHD is considered a heterogeneous

ADHD and Adolescence Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is a common mental disorder whose definition continues to change. Most clinicians make a diagnosis off of a list of symptoms in three categories: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. There are three different subtypes of ADHD: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Combined Type if both the inattentive criteria and the hyperactive/impulsive criteria have been present for the past six months; Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity

US population between the ages of 4-17 are affected with ADHD; that’s 6.4 million children and the prevalence of diagnosis is only increasing (2016). It was generally assumed that ADHD was something children would grow out of but new studies show that approximately 4% of the adult population in the US are still suffering from ADHD or have developed ADHD (Breyer, J. L., Lee, S., Winters, K. C., August, G. J., & Realmuto, G. M. 2014). ADHD is
