read moreDoes your child play computer games, like so many children, do today? Don't let Johnny or Suzie's ability to sit still while playing a computer game fool you. For many children with ADHD, the simple act of moving fingers on a computer game module is enough stimulation to "mask" the constant movement symptom of hyperactivity. If you are borderline in thinking your child may have ADHD, take away the computer module for a week. You may have a cranky child for a short while, but you will quickly see the child's response to the diminished stimulus.

read moreFairview: Time/visual/spatial processing disabilities are also common complaints for ADD/ADHD clients. This is not too surprising since many people with ADHD have problems judging time and organizing space. Academically, the space aspect can affect academic performance in many school subjects particularly geometry and physics. Research has shown that emotional conflicts within such clients can produce depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder and other similar conditions. This makes early diagnosis even more important for a child.

read moreFrisco Texas individuals with ADD, including the hyperactive and inattentive, suffer from disorganization which is one symptom that can be highly problematic in school, in the professional workplace, and at home. Keeping track of paperwork, organizing one's desk, and keeping things clean at home is a monumental task for them because their minds are so often thinking about multiple things at once. Even routine and everyday tasks are difficult for ADD clients to handle because most tasks soon become mundane and boring and their minds go wandering off to something more interesting or more stimulating.

Disorganization and inability to plan go hand and hand and plans change often because what seems interesting one day may not the next. Planning, details, and execution are often too much for them to handle. Considering just the basic demands for day to day performance, it's obvious why such clients often have difficulty controlling their emotions. Living from crisis to crisis and problem to problem is common for them.

read moreSometimes Denton teachers will contact the parent if the child shows behavioral patterns for either ADD or ADHD. Some schools offer unsolicited adaptations for any child needing academic help, particularly in reading. If your child is struggling in school, your best approach is to become proactive and seek professional evaluation from a doctor trained to treat the disorder, provide a well-structured home environment, and follow religiously the treatment recommendations and accurate medication dosages.

read moreTeachers in public and private McKinney Texas schools are trained to recognize the characteristics of ADD and ADHD. An ideal teacher should be encouraging, motivating, and skilled at implementing a variety of teaching styles. Since ADD/ADHD children are more prone to boredom, they need the material presented slowly, clearly, and repeatedly reinforced. Nevertheless, as your child's most zealous advocate a parent must become informed and not rely on teachers, educational specialists, psychologists and other personnel at the school as they are under no obligation to diagnose or implement help for your child unless presented with a diagnostic letter from a medical professional.
