Extractions: School is often the first place where characteristics of ADD are noted or viewed as problematic. Often it is in that school setting that youngsters are first asked to stay seated for long periods of time, maintain extended attention to a live individual, persist on a task, or wait one's turn. Youngsters with ADD experience difficulties in the areas necessary for academic success: starting work assignments, completing tasks, interacting cooperatively with others, following directions, making smooth transitions, and managing multi-step tasks. Excessive activity levels, talkativeness, interrupting, fidgeting, active and out of seat behavior, and underdeveloped social skills may also be evident. A number of factors effect performance including time of day, amount of rest or fatigue, adequacy of supervision, adequacy of medication, and so forth.

Extractions: E-mail: freer@playattention.net National Poll of Educators Finds Schools Inadequately Prepared to Teach Attention Deficit Students Asheville, NC January 1, 2002 A national survey of superintendents, directors, principals, and teachers performed by Unique Logic + Technology, Inc., finds that only 22% of the respondents believe their school accommodates the needs of ADD/HD students and only 19% indicated that their college or university adequately prepared them to teach these students. Unique Logic + Technology, Inc. manufactures the Play Attention integrated learning system (www.playattention.com). A Texas school administrator says, "I also see a need for the university to address this in teacher prep programs. It would be tremendously helpful for new teachers to have a factual base on ADD/ADHD, so they may dispel some of the myths that are associated with this disorder." A university educator responds, "When I was in school (graduate), people didn't really talk about ADD/HD. It was seen almost as a new diagnosis. Children were still "grouped" as LD. It appears that every 5 or so years we get a new vogue diagnosis. This further compounds the problem in that children are given a label simply because that's what people are studying at the time; sort of a you see what you want to see and get what you expect phenomenon. (If you are thinking ADD/HD, you'll come to a diagnosis of ADD/HD simply because that's what you expected.)"

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC CLARIFICATION OF TERMS Throughout this digest, ADD will be used to refer to "attention deficit disorder," or "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder" (ADHD). In the past, the term "minimal brain dysfunction" was also used. CHILDREN WITH ADD It is estimated that children with ADD constitute 3% to 5% of the current school-age population, which would represent 1.35 to 2.25 million children. Most experts agree that ADD is a neurobiological disorder that can have multiple causes. Research indicates that children with ADD are likely to have a biological relative with ADD. In addition, evidence also suggests that neurologic, neurochemical or, in some cases, toxic factors may be involved. Other factors such as medical conditions, medication side effects, familial functioning, or environmental conditions may exacerbate an existing disorder or contribute to the development of ADD-like problems in some children (Parker, 1992).
