Research, Techniques, Advancements for Children with Attention Deficit Disorder

Learning disabilities are a life long struggle but if caught at a young age and early intervention takes place. The stress on the child and family is greatly reduced. Learning disabilities spread to every part of a child’s life affecting them socially. Teachers must remain professional and refrain from calling students lazy as in Adams case. A good teacher or specialist can demystify a learning disability and help a child’s

There are many different types of learning disabilities; the most common ones are dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. (Jerome Rosner. –third ed. 1)

Learning disabilities (LD), or in some clinical cases called specific learning disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder which the individual is experiencing difficulties in learning and using academic skills (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Person with LD usually shows at least one difficulty in literacy (i.e.: inaccurate or slow and takes effort to read, difficult to understand the meaning of what he/she reads, difficult to spell words, or difficult with written expression) or in numerical reasoning (i.e.: number sense, calculation, or mathematical reasoning). Dyslexia and dyscalculia are the examples of specific cases in LD. The prevalence of school-age children with LD is 5%-15% of the population across different language and cultures with males have higher risk than females (2:1 to 3:1); while the prevalence of adults with LD is approximately 4%. The prognostic factors of LD might because of genetic factors or environmental factors (i.e.: premature, low birth weight, or nicotine exposure during prenatal).

IDEA defines a learning disability as a disorder in understanding or using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell or do mathematical calculations. Learning disabilities are a life-long issue. Language problems that go untreated in the early years of school can continue into high school and adulthood. As a child who suffered with an Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), early intervention was very important for me to progress in school. I continue to this day, to utilize and build on compensatory techniques taught by my grade school Speech Pathologist. Henceforth, I have been able to succeed in school, social settings and now in college.

Learning disabilities occur in more than 2.9 million children across the United States. Out of students

These students have normal and sometimes above normal intelligence but they struggling with problems that hinder them from learning and progressing like other students. More recently it is thought that a student with learning disability could show one of more than 500,000 combinations of cognitive or socioemotional problems (Heward, 2010). Learning disabilities cause students to struggle with so many things in school such as academics, emotions, and socializing and learning disabilities also cause students to have problems away from school. Students with learning disabilities may experience problems with learning to read or comprehend what they read, learning to do math or develop mathematical reasoning, learning vocabulary, spelling or the written language, and learning to get along with others and exhibit appropriate social skills. They may also have problems with paying attention, hyperactivity, and sometimes behavior,

Foster child, Annalisa Carrion, was replaced from the non-kinship therapeutic foster home of Carmen Arvelo and Miguel Quiles (Ms. Arvelo’s husband) on June 22nd, 2015. A report was received on June 26th, 2015 with the allegation of laceration, bruises, welts, and inadequate guardianship regarding Annalisa Carrion against Miguel Quiles.

Attention Deficit Disorder better known as ADD and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder ADHD are diseases mostly discovered in children that have difficulty staying on task and focused in a classroom setting. Children take certain medications to help them concentrate and stay on task. Parents believe that medicating students will allow them to better fit in school. Schools believe that if students take these certain medications, it will help them perform better on assignments and on tests. Teachers think that students will be able to adapt to the learning curriculum better.

A disability that many people are faced with is ADHD. ADHD is usually developed as a child and some people have it forever while others it could last until they are adults. People who have it tend to talk too much, affects their behavior, forgets or lose things, has a hard time getting along with people, and falls into temptation easily (CDC). Determining what your symptoms are can help you figure out what type of ADHD you might have. There are three different types of ADHD and they are predominantly inattentive Presentation, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive presentation, and combined type. Predominantly Inattentive Presentation is when someone has a difficult time completing a task or following directions and are too distracted to remember their daily routines. Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation is when someone is fidgety, talks a lot, can’t sit still and may injure self or others by the behavior. Combination type is when you have Predominantly Inattentive Presentation and Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive

Attention Deficit Disorder otherwise known as ADD is a condition that refers to an individual’s inability to control their own behavior or impulse(McEwan 70). This can begin in early childhood and interfere with children’s ability to do well in school and social situations. These patients also have troubles blocking out noise or other stimuli in order to focus on a task or what is being said. ADD is a chronic problem that can be seen as early as infancy and can extend to adulthood. There are two types of Attention Deficit Disorder. The most common form is Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). The characteristic of this type is hyperactivity, which is seen before the child enters

Though many people consider it one, ADD/ADHD isn 't a learning disability. ADD/ADHD changes a man 's efficiency in college environment, as well as other aspects of life too. Relationships with others, how well you arrange your chamber and properties, and the way you keep track of your financing are several other regions impacted by ADD/ADHD.

ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a behavioral condition that makes focusing on everyday requests and routines challenging. American Psychological Association (2016) Another part to this disorder is ADD, or attention deficit disorder, which is just like ADHD, except it doesn't cause hyperactivity. Although there is no information on what the specific cause of these disorders are, it is said that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity

The need for better treatment options for individuals with learning and attention problems is evidenced by the millions of children who are diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders every day. Neurodevelopmental disorders (i.e., learning disabilities such as dyslexia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) represent a major national problem. According to the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS, 2006), an estimated 6.3% of children ages 5-15 have a disability, which amounts to 2.8 million children in the United States. Of those, many children are diagnosed with learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, who typically receive services in school under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004).

In a classroom of 30 children, 1-3 of them will be diagnosed with ADHD, and a quarter the of children with ADHD have serious learning disabilities such as: oral expression, listening skills, reading comprehension and/or math difficulties. (Ryan, 2010).

The key to any successful school district is the administration. Teachers essentially provide structure, organization, and the background of a child’s future. To educate students with learning disabilities, it is essential that the staff has the training and resources needed for the appropriate people, place, and time (Lazarus) (What is Inclusion, 2001, n.p). It is unrealistic to expect that regular education teachers will always be aware of the latest research or be able to readily adapt the school's
